2. Population aged 12 and over who report that they have been diagnosed by a health professional as having high blood pressure. These data are not available for age 11 and under.
3. Bootstrapping techniques were used to produce the coefficient of variation (CV) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
4. Data with a coefficient of variation (CV) from 16.6% to 33.3% are identified by an (E) and should be interpreted with caution.
5. Data with a coefficient of variation (CV) greater than 33.3% were suppressed (F) due to extreme sampling variability.
6. CANSIM table number 01040010.
