A. Fomite
5. The behavioral risk Factor Surveillance System is an annual survey conducted by the Centers
of Disease Control and Prevention. This data is available by state. According to BRFSS for a
certain state, there were 3,122 respondents with arthritis and 5,259 without. Of those with
arthritis, 1,175 reported fair/poor health and 1,947 reported their health as excellent/very good.
Of those without arthritis, 771 reported their health as fair/poor, and 4,488 reported
excellent/very good health.
What is the prevalence of arthritis in this example? Express as a percentage.
A. 3122 / (3122+5259) x100 = 37.3%
