CI = confidence interval.
Breast cancer prevalence estimate is age-adjusted using the US 2000 Standard Population for ages 18–64 years using age groups 18–44, 45–54, and 55–64. Breast cancer is based on self-reported responses to questions about (1) whether respondents had ever been told by a doctor or other health professional that they had breast cancer or a malignancy of any kind and (2) what kind of cancer it was (breast). Unknowns for the column were not included when calculating percentages.
Estimate has a relative standard error >30%.
