† Data are for U.S. adults aged 65 years or older.<br />

‡ A confidence interval (CI) describes the level <strong>of</strong> uncertainty <strong>of</strong> an estimate and specifies the range in which the true value is likely to fall. This<br />

report uses a 95% level <strong>of</strong> significance, which means that 95% <strong>of</strong> the time, the true value falls within these boundaries. When comparing<br />

prevalence <strong>of</strong> variables across states or years, we recommend the use <strong>of</strong> confidence intervals. If the confidence intervals overlap, the difference is<br />

not statistically significant.<br />

§ Scores are calculated as quartiles and show state performance relative to all other states. 1 = top 25%; 4 = bottom 25%.<br />
