Figure.
Prevalence estimates with 90% confidence intervals computed by using 3 TOST margins: ±2.5 percentage points (short dashed lines), ±5.0 percentage points (long dashed lines), and ±7.5 percentage points (medium-dashed lines). Health indicators are ordered in magnitude of prevalence in NYC HANES. Abbreviations: CHS, Community Health Survey; NYC HANES, New York City Health and Nutrition Examination Survey; TOST, two one-sided t test.
