  1. aOdds ratios estimated using unconditional logistic regression with appropriate weighting procedures.
  2. bEach outcome is reported as “yes” versus “no”.
  3. cMain effects model adjusted for age in years, race/ethnicity, marital status, education, employment status, health insurance status, self-rated general health, regular medical checkup in past year, smoking status, physical activity, and alcohol use. Models for White and Non-white populations include all predictors except for race/ethnicity.
