Change in HZO incidence rate per 100,000 person-years per year.
The slope was computed from 2000 to 2007 given that the available data does not include individuals born prior to 1930 and the full age range could not be captured until 2000.
The slope was not available for ages 71+ for the first time period from 1994 to 2007 for both men and women because the available data does not include individuals born prior to 1930.
Key: CI = Confidence Interval; HZO = Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus.
