| * Crude: The crude percentage is the raw percentage or the
unadjusted estimate. |
| |
| † Age-Adjusted: The age-adjusted percentage is an artificial
estimate that minimizes the effects of different age distributions and allows
comparisons between different populations. It represents what the crude
percentage would have been in the study population if that population had the
same age distribution as a standard population (that is, a population in which
the age composition is known precisely, for example, as a result of a census). |
