June 30, 1999. Current standards require
that newly qualifying MSAs include at

Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS).
Atlanta, Georgia: U.S. Department of

Disease Control and Prevention, 2002.
In the BRFSS, respondents were asked “Do
you have any kind of health care coverage,
including health insurance, prepaid plans
such as HMOs, or government plans such
as Medicare?” Sample size reflects number
of respondents, excluding those who answered
“Do not know/not sure” or refused. The
sample size within a State may not add
up to State total due to suppression of
data for counties with small sample sizes.
The percentages were weighted to population
characteristics in order to produce estimates
that were representative of the sampled
population. Health characteristics estimated
from the BRFSS pertain only to the adult
population (age 18 and older) living in
households.
[9] Note: Estimates
based on the Current Population Survey,
Annual Social and Economic supplement,
2004, indicated that 18 percent of California
residents were uninsured during some time
in 2003.

In the BRFSS, female respondents were
asked “How long has it been since you
had your last mammogram?” if they responded
“yes” to ever having had a mammogram.
The percentages reported here were weighted
to population characteristics in order
to produce estimates that were representative
of the sampled population.
[11] Age-adjusted mortality
rate= Sum of ((number of resident deaths/population)
in 10-year age groups multiplied by weights
from the U.S. 2000 Standard Population).
This formula was applied whenever age-adjusted
mortality rate is referred to in this
report. The population used in calculating
the crude death rates by 10-year age groups
includes total population with exception
of breast (when specified) and cervical
cancer (females only).
