Respondents were asked to report pain that lasted an entire day or more and to disregard fleeting or minor pain. Individuals may be represented in multiple columns.
Estimates are age-adjusted based on the standard population of the year 2000 using five age groups: Persons aged 18 to 44 years, 45 to 54 years, 55 to 64 years, 65 to 74 years, and 75 years and older. The age-adjusted estimates in this table may differ from other age-adjusted estimates based on similar data presented elsewhere if different age groups are used for the adjustment procedure.
