1. Data source: Statistics Canada, National Population Health Survey, 1994/95 and 1996/97, cross sectional sample, health file, North component
2. Population aged 12 and over who report that they have been diagnosed by a health professional as having high blood pressure.
3. A simple variance formula was 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 01045010.
