* All variables are age-adjusted to the year 2000 U.S. standard population, except those for age subgroups.
1 Education in NHANES III represents the education of the head of the household for persons under 18; otherwise, it represents the education of the individual person. In MEPS, if the age is less than 18 years, then the education is referred to the highest education of either parent. In NHIS, the education categories are less than high school, high school graduate, and more than high school.
a MEPS reports race/ethnicity as Hispanic, black-not Hispanic, and other (including whites).
Data source: The Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III), 2001 National Health Interview Survey, National Center for Health Statistics, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and 2000 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey Household Component (MEPS HC), Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
