*For this calculated variable 'Yes' means that respondents have eitherchronic joint symptoms or have ever been told by a doctor that they have arthritis. Response is generalized to the state population

#Use caution in interpreting data for total respondents less than 50. N = Cell Size, NH = Non-Hispanic, % = Percentage, C.I.(95%) = Confidence Interval (at 95 percent probability level).

Percentages are weighted to population characteristics.

Unless stated differently above, Missing, 'Don't know', and Refused responses are excluded.
