State-and Sex-Specific Prevalence of Selected Characteristics -- Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, 1994 and 1995Eve Powell-Griner, Ph.D. John E. Anderson, Ph.D. Wilmon Murphy Coordinators for the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (Appendix A) Behavioral Surveillance Branch Division of Adult and Community Health National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Abstract Problem/Condition: High-risk behaviors (e.g., cigarette smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and physical inactivity) and lack of preventive health care (e.g., screening for cancer) are associated with chronic disease- and injury-related morbidity and mortality. States use the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) to collect data about these modifiable health behaviors and to monitor trends and changes in the prevalence of behavioral risk factors in state populations. BRFSS data also are used to monitor progress toward the year 2000 national health objectives. Reporting Period: 1994 and 1995. Description of System: The BRFSS is a state-based telephone survey of the civilian, noninstitutionalized, adult (persons greater than or equal to 18 years of age) population. In 1994, 49 states and the District of Columbia participated in the BRFSS; in 1995, 50 states participated. Results: As in previous years, there were state-specific variations in the prevalences of high-risk behaviors, awareness of certain medical conditions, use of preventive health services, and health-care coverage. Selected findings for 1995 were that 22.4% of adults reported being current cigarette smokers (range: 13.2%-27.8%); the percentage of adults who reported driving after drinking too much alcohol ranged from 0.6% to 5.2% (median: 2.3%); and among adults aged greater than or equal to 65 years, 36.8% (range: 11.4%-46.6%) reported ever having had a pneumococcal vaccination and 59.2% (range: 44.2%-70.0%) reported having had an influenza vaccination within the past 1 year. Interpretation: State-specific variations in prevalence may reflect differences in population composition, socioeconomic factors, state laws enacted to discourage high-risk behaviors, levels of effort to screen for certain diseases and physiological conditions, and other factors. Action Taken: States continue to use the BRFSS to monitor risk factors associated with chronic disease- and injury-related morbidity and mortality and to develop public health programs and policies to address these problems. BRFSS data continue to be important in assessing progress toward national year 2000 and state health objectives. INTRODUCTION Behaviors such as cigarette smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and physical inactivity are major contributors to chronic disease- and injury-related morbidity and mortality in the United States. Preventive health practices such as cholesterol screening, mammography, and proctoscopy can help identify early stages of chronic diseases (e.g., heart disease, breast cancer, and colorectal cancer), thereby reducing death rates from these leading causes of death among the U.S. adult population. Increasing the use of screening for chronic diseases and reducing high-risk behaviors are among the year 2000 national health objectives (1). The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) is a continuous, state-based surveillance system that collects information about modifiable risk factors for chronic diseases and other leading causes of death. This system is used to measure achievement toward both the national health objectives (1) and specific state objectives. This report, the latest in a series that summarizes yearly BRFSS data, presents state- and sex-specific data for 1994 and 1995 concerning a) risk factors for chronic diseases; b) risk factors for injury; c) awareness of certain medical conditions associated with increased risk for developing chronic diseases; d) screening practices related to cardiovascular diseases and cancer of the cervix, breast, and colon; e) vaccinations; and f) lack of health-care coverage (which is often a prerequisite for access to clinical preventive health services). The use, history, and rationale of the BRFSS have been previously described (2,3). In 1994, all states * except Rhode Island participated in the BRFSS, and in 1995, the District of Columbia did not participate (Appendix B). The data collected in 1994 and 1995 are presented separately; statistical comparisons between the 2 years of data were not made. METHODS Sampling Each state health department used random digit dialing to select samples of adults in households with telephones. The samples represented each state's civilian, non-institutionalized, adult (persons greater than or equal to 18 years of age) population. Most states used three-stage cluster sampling based on the Waksberg method (4); other states used simple random, stratified random, or other sampling designs. Questionnaire The 1994 and 1995 BRFSS questionnaires consisted of a) a core set of questions asked in all participating states, b) optional questions on selected topics developed by CDC and asked at the discretion of each state, c) questions developed and asked in a particular state to meet a specific need for information, d) a rotating set of core questions asked every other year, and e) questions addressing emerging health-care issues and requiring timely data collection. The rotating core question on leisure-time physical activity was asked by all participating states in 1994 but not in 1995. Rotating core questions asked in 1995 but not in 1994 were about alcohol use, safety belt use, drinking and driving, awareness of high blood pressure and high blood cholesterol, testing for blood cholesterol, colorectal cancer screening, and two kinds of vaccinations. From 1993 to 1994, the question on mammography was changed from "A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast to look for cancer. Have you ever had a mammogram?" to "A mammogram is an X-ray of each breast to look for breast cancer. Have you ever had a mammogram?" In California, modification of survey questions on chronic drinking and cancer screening resulted in data that are not comparable. Thus, in this report, the data from California are excluded from the tables on chronic drinking and cancer screening. Data Collection and Processing In each state, during the interview period in each month, BRFSS data were collected from randomly selected adults. The data were sent to CDC after the monthly interviewing cycle ended. CDC edited the data and checked the reliability of the data collected. A computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) system, which permits direct entry of data into a computer file during an interview, was used in 44 states in 1994 and 47 states in 1995. CATI helps reduce errors in data collection by facilitating data coding, data entry, and the monitoring of interviewers. Data Weighting and Analysis CDC aggregated the edited monthly data files to create a yearly sample for each state. Each state's yearly data file was weighted to both the respondent's probability of selection and the age- and sex-specific or the race-, age-, and sex-specific population from the most current census data (or intercensal estimates) for each state (2,5). CDC used these weighted data to estimate the prevalence of risk factors for each state's population. SUDAAN, a software package for analyzing complex survey data, was used to calculate the standard errors and the 95% confidence intervals for the prevalence estimates (6). In 1994, the number of interviews completed in each state ranged from 1,259 to 4,439 (men: 499-1,844; women: 691-2,595). In 1995, the number of interviews completed ranged from 1,251 to 5,107 (men: 500-2,078; women: 693-3,029). State response rates for completed interviews ranged from 61.9% to 95.4% in 1994 and from 60.5% to 95.0% in 1995. RESULTS Risk Factors for Chronic Diseases Overweight A body mass index of greater than or equal to 27.8 kg/m2 for men and greater than or equal to 27.3 kg/m2 for women is considered overweight. These values approximate the sex-specific 85th percentile of body mass index estimated from the second National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES II) for persons 20-29 years of age in the United States. In 1994, the prevalence of adults who reported being overweight ranged from 19.7% in Hawaii to 31.9% in Mississippi (median: 26.7%) (Table_1). In 1995, the prevalence of overweight adults ranged from 21.8% in Hawaii to 34.6% in Indiana (median: 28.6%). In both years, men were slightly more likely than women to report being overweight (1994: 28.4% vs. 25.1%; 1995: 30.6% vs. 26.4%). No Leisure-Time Physical Activity In 1994, the percentage of adults who did not engage in any leisure-time physical activity (i.e., no exercise, recreation, or physical activities {other than regular job duties} during the previous month) varied by states nearly threefold, from 17.2% Colorado to 48.6% in the District of Columbia (median: 28.8%) (Table_2). The median percentage of adults who reported no leisure-time physical activity was slightly lower for men (26.5%) than for women (30.6%). Alcohol Consumption Drinking Pattern I. In 1995, the percentage of adults who reported binge drinking (i.e., consumption of five or more alcoholic beverages on at least one occasion during the previous month {drinking pattern I}) varied more than fourfold among states (Table_3). This percentage ranged from 5.2% in Tennessee to 22.9% in Wisconsin (median: 13.9%). Approximately three times as many men as women reported binge drinking (21.3% vs. 6.9%). Drinking Pattern II. In 1995, the percentage of adults who reported chronic drinking (i.e., consumption of 60 or more alcoholic beverages during the previous month {drinking pattern II}) ranged from 1.2% in Oklahoma to 5.6% in Nevada (median: 2.8%) (Table_4). Men were almost seven times as likely as women to report chronic drinking (4.8% vs. 0.7%). Cigarette Smoking Smoking Among Adults. The prevalence of adults who reported being current cigarette smokers and having ever smoked at least 100 cigarettes varied twofold among states (Table_5). In 1994, the prevalence ranged from 15.0% in the District of Columbia to 29.1% in Nevada (median: 22.6%), and in 1995, it ranged from 13.2% in Utah to 27.8% in Kentucky (median: 22.4%). The median prevalence of smoking was slightly higher for men than for women in 1994 (23.8% vs. 21.6%) and in 1995 (24.7% vs. 20.9%). Smoking Among Young Adults. CDC's Office of Smoking and Health has used smoking prevalence among persons 20-24 years of age as an indicator of smoking initiation in the general U.S. population. Because sample sizes for this narrow age group were likely to be small at the state level, however, the age span of 18-29 years was used for this question in the BRFSS. In addition, data from states that participated in the BRFSS in both 1994 and 1995 were aggregated to compensate for the small sample sizes and large confidence intervals that could occur from 1 year of state data. The percentage of young adults who reported being current cigarette smokers and having ever smoked at least 100 cigarettes ranged from 15.2% in Utah to 32.7% in Ohio (median: 24.1%) (Table_6). The smoking rate was slightly higher for young men (25.1%) than for young women (23.3%). In 73% of states, the smoking rate for young adults was higher than that for all adults. Risk Factors for Personal Injury Safety Belt Use In 1995, the percentage of adults who reported that they always wore a safety belt while driving or riding in a car varied more than twofold among states (Table_7). The percentage ranged from 41.4% in North Dakota to 86.9% in Hawaii (median: 66.0%). The median prevalence was more than 15 percentage points lower for men than for women (58.2% vs. 73.5%). Drinking and Driving In 1995, the percentage of adults who reported operating a motor vehicle at least once in the previous month after drinking too much alcohol ranged from 0.6% in Kentucky to 5.2% in South Dakota (median: 2.3%) (Table_8). More than four times as many men as women reported this behavior (3.7% vs. 0.9%). Awareness of Certain Medical Conditions Hypertension In 1995, the percentage of adults who reported ever having been told by a health professional that they had high blood pressure varied from 18.5% in Minnesota to 29.8% in Mississippi (median: 22.0%) (Table_9). Slightly fewer men than women reported hypertension awareness (21.5% vs. 22.7%). Diabetes In 1994, the percentage of adults who reported ever having been told by a health professional that they had diabetes ranged from 2.5% in Montana to 5.9% in Missouri (median: 4.2%) (Table_10). In 1995, the percentage of diabetes awareness ranged from 2.7% in Alaska to 6.4% in Mississippi (median: 4.4%). In both years, men were slightly less likely than women to report diabetes awareness (1994: 4.0% vs. 4.4%; 1995: 4.1% vs. 4.7%). High Blood Cholesterol In 1995, the percentage of adults who reported ever having been told by a health professional that they had high blood cholesterol ranged from 15.0% in Utah to 27.2% in Illinois (median: 19.4%) (Table_11). Fewer men than women reported awareness of high blood cholesterol (18.1% vs. 20.4). Screening Cholesterol In 1995, the percentage of adults who reported ever having had their blood cholesterol tested ranged from 59.8% in Mississippi to 76.2% in Massachusetts (median: 68.9%) (Table_12). The median was lower for men than for women (66.9% vs. 72.0%). The percentage of adults who reported that they had had their blood cholesterol tested within the past 5 years varied from 55.1% in Mississippi to 72.9% in Massachusetts (median: 65.3%) in 1995 (Table_12). The median was lower for men than for women (62.5% vs. 68.2%). Cervical Cancer In 1994 and 1995, the percentage of women who had ever had a Papanicolaou (Pap) smear was greater than 86% in all states (Table_13). The percentage varied from 86.5% to 96.6% (median: 94.1%) in 1994 and from 88.5% to 97.4% (median: 93.6%) in 1995. In both years, the percentage of women who reported having had a Pap smear in the past 3 years was greater than 77% (Table_13). The percentage ranged from 77.6% to 90.7% (median: 84.9%) in 1994 and from 79.0% to 90.9% (median: 83.6%) in 1995. Breast Cancer Mammogram. In 1994, the percentage of women greater than or equal to 40 years of age who reported ever having had a mammogram varied from 69.7% to 86.7% (median: 79.6%) (Table_14). In 1995, the percentage varied from 72.4% to 90.4% (median: 81.8%). In 1994, 67.5% of women greater than or equal to 50 years of age reported that they had had a mammogram in the past 2 years (range: 54.2%-81.3%) (Table_14). In 1995, this value was 69.2% (range: 53.9%-81.3%). Clinical Breast Examination. In both 1994 and 1995, greater than 82% of women greater than or equal to 40 years of age reported ever having had a clinical breast examination (Table_15). In 1994, this percentage ranged from 82.5% to 94.8% (median: 89.7%); in 1995, the percentage varied from 82.1% to 95.5% (median: 89.9%). In 1994 and 1995, greater than 61% of women greater than or equal to 50 years of age reported that they had had a clinical breast examination in the past 2 years (Table_15). In 1994, the percentage ranged from 63.8% to 83.6% (median: 73.6%); in 1995, it ranged from 61.2% to 83.8% (median: 73.8%). Mammogram and Clinical Breast Examination. In 1994, the percentage of women greater than or equal to 40 years of age who had ever had both a mammogram and a clinical breast examination ranged from 63.7% to 82.9% (median: 75.1%) (Table_16). In 1995, this percentage ranged from 66.4% to 86.5% (median: 77.2%). In 1994, the combined use of mammography and clinical breast examination in the previous 2 years among women greater than or equal to 50 years of age varied from 48.4% to 76.0% (median: 62.1%) (Table_16). In 1995, this percentage ranged from 47.5% to 75.7% (median: 61.5%). Colorectal Cancer In 1995, the percentage of adults greater than or equal to 50 years of age who reported that they had ever had a proctoscopic examination ranged from 21.5% in Oklahoma to 50.7% in Minnesota (median: 37.1%) (Table_17). The rate was higher for men (41.9%) than for women (32.9%). Vaccination Pneumococcal Vaccination In 1995, the percentage of adults greater than or equal to 65 years of age who reported that they had ever had a pneumococcal vaccination ranged from 11.4% in New Jersey to 46.6% in Arizona (median: 36.8%) (Table_18). The percentage was slightly lower for men (35.3%) than for women (37.7%). Influenza Vaccination In 1995, the percentage of adults greater than or equal to 65 years of age who reported that they had had an influenza vaccination in the previous year ranged from 44.2% in Alabama to 70.0% in Utah (median: 59.2%) (Table_18). The value was about the same for men (59.6%) and women (59.2%). Lack of Health-Care Coverage In both 1994 and 1995, the percentage of adults 18-64 years of age who reported that they did not have any health-care coverage varied more than threefold (Figure_1) and (Figure_2). In 1994, the percentage varied from 7.0% to 24.7% (median: 14.8%), and in 1995, the percentage ranged from 6.8% to 24.4% (median: 13.9%). For both years, the greatest prevalence of uninsured persons 18-64 years of age was in the southern and western states. Men were slightly more likely than women to have no health insurance in 1994 (15.2% vs. 13.6%) and in 1995 (15.8% vs. 12.8%). DISCUSSION BRFSS data for 1984-1993 (7-13) and for this report have documented state-to-state variation in the prevalences of many health risk behaviors. State-specific variations may reflect differences in population composition (e.g., age, race or ethnicity, and sex), socioeconomic factors (e.g., per capita income, median number of years of education, and unemployment level), state laws enacted to discourage risky behaviors (e.g., driving under the influence of alcohol), levels of effort to screen for certain diseases and physiological conditions, and other factors. These variations illustrate the need for policy makers to use state-specific data when addressing health problems in each state. Estimates from the BRFSS may differ from those derived from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), NHANES, or other surveys because of differences in methodology or wording of questions. For example, the percentage of men and women who reported being overweight for the 1994 and 1995 BRFSS (approximately 27%) was lower than the estimated 34% obtained by direct measurements of height and weight from NHANES III, which was conducted between 1988 and 1991 (14). This difference may reflect at least two factors: first, overweight adults underreport their weight more often than do adults who are not overweight (15), and second, underreporting of weight is more common among women than among men (15). In the BRFSS, women were less likely than men to have reported being overweight, whereas in NHANES III, more women than men were overweight (35% and 32%, respectively) (14). Because BRFSS data are self-reported, they may underestimate the true prevalence of overweight adults in the United States. Measuring the prevalence of physical activity historically has been limited by the lack of data about work-related physical activity. Examination of leisure-time physical activity only and exclusion of work and household activity may underestimate total physical activity (16). Thus, the BRFSS data about lack of leisure-time physical activity probably underestimate total physical activity among adults in the United States. In 1994 and 1995, the percentage of adults reporting binge or chronic drinking varied by both state and sex. Other studies also have demonstrated region- and sex-specific variations in the prevalences of these drinking patterns (17,18). The BRFSS data correspond closely with results from a study on per capita alcohol consumption estimated from alcohol sales data (19). Adults living in states with the highest rates of alcohol consumption were most likely to drive after drinking too much alcohol. The 1995 BRFSS median prevalence of adults who currently smoke cigarettes (22.4%) correlate closely with the 1993 NHIS estimate of 25% (20). The 1991 NHIS estimate that 22.9% of young adults 20-24 years of age were current smokers (21) also was similar to the BRFSS 1994-1995 aggregate estimate that 24.1% of young adults 18-29 years of age were current smokers. The highest prevalence of safety belt use was reported in states having safety-belt-use laws that permit primary enforcement. Primary enforcement allows a police officer to stop a driver for an observed violation of a safety-belt-use law only. Secondary enforcement requires a police officer to first stop the driver for another violation. Primary enforcement laws are associated with more frequent safety belt use than are secondary enforcement laws (22). Data about self-reported awareness of certain medical conditions (e.g., hypertension, diabetes, and high blood cholesterol) provide health-care providers and educators estimates of the number of adults who know about their medical condition. However, awareness does not indicate that these conditions are being treated or controlled, nor does it reflect the prevalence of risk factors for these conditions. These self-reported BRFSS estimates are likely lower than the true prevalence of these medical conditions, because many persons may be unaware that they have such medical problems (23). The BRFSS estimates of the percentage of uninsured adults 18-64 years of age were slightly lower than those reported from the March 1993 Current Population Survey (24). The Current Population Survey includes persons in households without telephones. Persons without telephones in the household tend to be poorer and less educated than persons in households with telephones (25). These persons also may be less likely to have health insurance (25). Thus, that BRFSS data are collected only from persons in households with telephones may be reflected by the lower percentage of uninsured adults in the BRFSS than in the Current Population Survey. States can use BRFSS data about health insurance coverage to identify the sociodemographic characteristics of persons who do not have coverage and to compare the prevalence of health risk behaviors and the use of preventive health services among the insured and uninsured (25). For example, lack of mammography use is associated with lack of health insurance (25). This information also can be used by managed-care organizations in determining the best options for state populations and by policy makers in evaluating health-care reforms at the state level. Interpretation of the differences in self-reported behaviors and use of medical ser-vices in 1994 and 1995 are subject to the constraint that they are based only on 2 years of state data. The apparent decreases or increases may reflect changes in the true prevalence of the population sampled. However, these changes could be artifactual because of several factors, including wording changes in the questions on mammography, shifts in the demographic composition of the sample population between 1994 and 1995, differences resulting from under- or overreporting of certain factors, and sampling and nonresponse errors. The extent of these possible effects is probably limited, but the effects can be assessed only after data from subsequent years are collected and analyzed. The BRFSS can provide the basis for developing or evaluating public health programs or policies designed to reduce the prevalence of health risk factors. For example, BRFSS data for Oregon have been published to help the state government and county and regional organizations set health program and budget priorities (26), and the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services has used state BRFSS data to formulate intervention strategies, justify resources supporting these strategies, and propose new policies or legislation (27). BRFSS data also can assist in evaluating progress toward national year 2000 and state health objectives.
