| Notes: Analysis of reduced work activities due to a long-term physical or mental condition was based on 18,995 records, with 994 events of reduced work activity; 1,172 records were dropped because of missing values. Analysis of at least one disabilty day in past two weeks due to illness or injury was based on 10,032 records, with 1,013 events of at least one disability day; 850 records were dropped because of missing values. Because of rounding, an odds ratio with a lower confidence interval of 1.0 was statistically significant. | ||||
