Data are expressed in mean percentages of respondents or mean numbers of days with 95% confidence limits expressed as a single + number in parentheses beside the mean. Means in bold type are significantly different at p < 0.05. Abbreviations: PUHD = physically unhealthy days; MUHD = mentally unhealthy days; PMUHD = physically or mentally unhealthy days; E = excellent; VG = very good; G = good; F = fair; P = poor; E/VG/G = excellent, very good, and good combined; F/P = fair and poor combined, with alternating gray and white backgrounds to separate paired comparisons.
