a
Strata with a single sampling unit are treated as certainty units (ie, they do not contribute to SEs).
b
Population size in millions are the weighted counts.
c
US 2010 Census weights were used for age standardization.
d
Participants who responded yes to at least 1 disability question were identified as having any disability.
