Personal Author	Meit, M.; Knudson, A.; Gilbert, T.; Tzy-Chyi Yu, A.; Tanenbaum, E.
Page Count	153
Abstract	This chartbook presents information on population demographics, health risk factors, age-specific and cause-specific mortality, access to care, health insurance coverage, mental health, and other health-related topics for U.S. residents across urbanization levels (defined below). To examine regional variation in health patterns by urbanization level, this chartbook also includes data tables and charts that display data for each of the four geographic regions of the U.S. - Northeast, Midwest, South, and West, as defined by the U.S. Bureau of the Census (see Appendix II, Geographic region). Many findings are also presented separately for men and women. Age groups examined vary by outcome measure; most estimates are age-adjusted to the year 2000 standard population (see Technical Notes). Some measures are presented by family income expressed as a percent of the Federal poverty level.
