[34,383 represents 34,383,000.Covers all medically attended injuries and poisonings occurring during the 3-month period prior to the survey interview.Data were age-adjusted by
thedirect method to the 2000 projectedpopulation. The age groups used toadjust are the same ones used in theage-specific analyses in this report:under 12 years, 12-21 years,
22-44years, 45-64 years, 65-79 years, and 80years and over. Age adjustment is usedto adjust for differences in the agedistribution of populations beingcompared. Age adjustment is
often donewhen trends are being analyzed or whenpopulations being compared are knownto have different age distributions. TheNCHS standard for age adjustment wasrecently changed from
the 1940 standard to a 2000 standard.There may be more than one condition per episode.Based on the redesigned National Health Interview Survey,a sample survey of the civilian
noninstitutionalized population.Data presented in this table are not comparable with injury datapresented in previous editions]
