  1. aPoisson Regression model calculated incidence rate ratios (IRR) was adjusted for age, race/ethnicity, gender, median household income and all two-way interactions stratified by degree of urbanization/population
  2. b IRR incidence rate ratios was calculated by median household income quintiles and using first quintile-Median household income Low as reference group
