*
Relative risk analysis performed on estimates from a logistic regression model with survey weights. All variables in the table as well as household size were included in the model.
†
Performed within past 5 years.
‡
One or more parameters could not be estimated in 205 bootstrap replicates; therefore estimates are from 1795 bootstrap replicates.
