INTRODUCTION According to the U.S. Census bureau, Florida was projected to have the second highest population of older adults 60 and over (4,411,301) in 2010, second only to California (6,149,653). In addition, Florida was projected to have the highest proportion of older adults 60 and over in the nation (23.4%) (U.S. Census Bureau, 2012). Older Americans experience an increased disease burden, and often have special needs. In order to better understand and serve this large and important segment of Florida’s population, the Florida Office on Disability and Health, in conjunction with the Florida Department of Elder Affairs, produced a snapshot of demographic, health characteristics, and health behavior characteristics of Floridians aged 60 and over. The 2007 Florida Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) provides a unique opportunity to describe the characteristics of Florida’s older population at both the state and county level because of a very large survey sample in 2010. The BRFSS is an annual telephone survey which collects demographic, health behavior, health outcome, and health care access data from randomly dialed non-institutionalized adults age 18 and over in the United States and its territories. It consists of a core section of questions administered nationally and separate modules that states may choose to use (Gentry, 1985; Remington 1988). The survey is administered through state and territorial health agencies with assistance from the CDC. The data are weighted so respondents represent the population of their state based on gender, race, and age, making results generalizable to the entire state. In 2010, Florida had 35,109 respondents to the annual BRFSS, of which 52.9% (n=18,588) were aged 60 and older. The respondents were sampled by county to allow for county-level public health data. For this report, the majority of counties have older adult respondent samples between 200 and 400 persons: the smallest is Union County with 196 participants aged 60 and over. Only two counties have samples larger than 400: Sarasota (428) and Volusia (511). While these county-level surveys are very useful for providing population estimates of health and behaviors, these are relatively small sample sizes when compared to the statewide BRFSS numbers. The small number of people who were surveyed in counties (the “denominator”) can lead to our providing descriptive percentage estimates based on small or undetectable frequencies. This does not mean that our older adults in these areas do not experience a health event we report on, but that the sample size was not sufficient to statistically detect or estimate the small frequencies. As such, the estimates provided in this report should not be compared across counties without caution, since the precision of each statistic varies by the size of the group of respondents. Tables 1 through 67 provide estimates of individual county demographic, health characteristics and behaviors for adults aged 60 and over and compares county data results to the results based on the combined state sample of older adults.
