This table presents a summary measure of health care visits to doctor offices, emergency departments, and home visits during a 12-month period.
Estimates are age-adjusted to the year 2000 standard population using six age groups: Under 18 years, 18-44 years, 45-54 years, 55-64 years, 65-74 years, and 75 years and over. The disability measure is age-adjusted using the five adult age groups.
