asked to report when they had their last mammogram. In 1991 women were
asked whether they had a mammogram in the past two years. In 1993 and 1994
women were asked whether they had a mammogram within the past year,
between one and two years ago, or over two years ago. Hispanics may be of
any race.

Note:
The Healthy Eating Index consists of 10 components. Components 1 to 5
measure the degree to which a person’s diet conforms to the Pyramid
serving recommendations for the five major food groups: grains,
vegetables, fruits, milk, and meat/meat alternatives. Components 6 to 9
measure intake of fat, saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium. Component 10
measures the degree of variety in a person’s diet.
High component scores indicate intakes close to recommended ranges or amounts; low component
scores indicate less compliance with recommended ranges or amounts. These
data were collected between 1994 and 1996. See “Indicator 6: Poverty”
for information on the definition of poverty.
Reference population: These data refer to the civilian noninstitutional
population.

Note: Violent crime includes murder, rape,
robbery, and aggravated and simple assault. Since 1992, sexual assault has
also been included. Property crime includes household burglary,
motor vehicle theft, and property theft. Data prior to 1992 have been
weighted to partially account for these changes. A complete description of
the survey methodology, including changes that were made when the survey
was redesigned, can be found in Criminal Victimization in the United
States, 1993, NCJ-151657.
Reference population: These data refer to the resident noninstitutional
population.
