Note: Data are based on "yes" responses to the following BRFSS question: "Have you ever had your blood cholesterol checked?" Data are for >18 years, are age–adjusted to the 2000 U.S. population, and are weighted for the probability of sampling. † Confidence interval. ‡ Estimates for states with <50 respondents are considered unstable and are not reported. § The Indian Health Service (IHS) provides services to American Indians and Alaska Natives in 35 states. Only these 35 states were used for the regional estimates. Regions are defined as follows: East=Alabama, Connecticut, Florida, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. Northern Plains=Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. Southwest=Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah. Pacific Coast=California, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. Alaska=Alaska. These regional definitions were first used in CDC's Health Behaviors of American Indians and Alaska Natives: Findings from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, 1993–1996.
