Note: Percentages may not add to 100 due to rounding. Estimates are age standardized to the 2000 standard population using three age-groups: 18-44, 45-64, and 65 and over. Negative/poor refers to household incomes below the Federal poverty line; near poor/low, above the poverty line to just below 200 percent of the poverty line; middle income, 200 percent to just below 400 percent of the poverty line; and high income, 400 percent of the poverty line and over.

^a Estimates are not adjusted. Denominator excluded all missing values.
^b The Health Insurance questionnaire was completely redesigned for 2005-2006. In addition, it used to be administered at the family level where one reference person in the family responded for each individual survey participant (SP) in the family. Now SPs respond for themselves, except in situations where a proxy is needed. The questions are no longer entirely comparable to the questions provided in 2003-2004 and earlier.
^c Total = women at high risk plus women not at high risk for diabetes.
