† A confidence interval (CI) describes the level of uncertainty of an estimate and specifies the range in which the true value is likely to fall. The State of Aging and Health in America online report uses a 95% level of significance, which means that 95% of the time, the true value falls within these boundaries. When comparing prevalence of variables across states or years, we recommend the use of confidence intervals. If the confidence intervals overlap, the difference is not statistically significant.
   
‡ Rankings are based on the relative numeric scores for each indicator, with a ranking of "1" indicating the highest rank.
   
§ Grades are calculated as tertiles (thirds) and show state performance relative to all other states.
