* The numerator was the estimated number of adults with arthritis and coronary heart disease. The denominator was the estimated number of adults with coronary heart disease.
† Age standardized to the 2000 U.S. projected population, using three age groups: 18–44, 45–64, and ≥65 years.
§ Doctor-diagnosed arthritis was defined as a yes response to the question “Has a doctor, nurse, or other health professional ever told you that you have some form of arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, lupus, or fibromyalgia?”
¶ Doctor-diagnosed coronary heart disease was defined as a yes response to either of the following two questions: “Has a doctor, nurse, or other health professional ever told you that you had a heart attack, also called a myocardial infarction?” or “Has a doctor, nurse, or other health professional ever told you that you had angina or coronary heart disease?” Those who answered yes to either question were classified as having coronary heart disease. Those who answered no to both questions were classified as not having coronary heart disease.
** Median and range were calculated from estimates for the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
