- Emphysema prevalence was defined as answering yes to"Have you EVER been told by a doctor or other health professional that you had emphysema?"
- Due to rounding, numbers across may not sum up to totals.
- * Estimate for which the numerator has a relative standard error of more than 30% and should be considered unreliable.
