For example, data lines for elderly persons or children could be added to selected objectives without adding other groups. Age adjustment here is indicated for those objectives. The statistical compendium, Tracking Healthy People 2010, covers this subject in greater detail. Several other population groups are shown in various objectives. Data are not collected.
Data are statistically unreliable.
The data set produces the figure, but the number of respondents is too small to be valid, the proportion of respondents with missing information is too large, or the survey does not have representative data for certain population groups. Targets for Measurable Objectives As a general rule, one target is set for all population groups to reach by the year 2010. This supports the overarching goal of eliminating health disparities. One national target for the year 2010 is set for all measurable objectives and is applicable to all population groups. This target setting method supports the goal of eliminating health disparities and improving health for all segments of the total population.
