OR: odds ratio; SE: standard error; CI: confidence interval. 1Adjusted prevalence was derived from fitted logistic models that included survey year, age, gender, race/ethnicity, length of immigration, marital status, region of residence, education, and poverty status (or family income and family size). 2Other Asian categories include the Koreans, the Vietnamese, the Japanese, the Cambodians, the Laotians, the Hmongs, the Thais, the Pakistanis, and other Asian groups. 3The income categories during 1992–1995 were <7000, 7000–14999, 15000–24999, 25000–34999, 35000–49999, and 50000+. Family income, instead of poverty status, was used for the 1992–1995 NHIS. |
