  1. Notes:
  2. Conditions are shown in descending order of prevalence.
  3. Standard error is shown in brackets following the estimate.
  4. * Back problems excluding fibromyalgia & arthritis.
  5. Φ Observed refers to the average, age-sex standardized HUI3 scores of the condition reported alone on CCHS before being purified.
  6. Purified refers to the average observed utility after division by the average utility of those reporting no conditions.
