  1. Age, sex, highest degree, race/ethnicity, county-level education, and county-level population density were adjusted in the analysis
  2. aX, M1, M2 were standardized prior to analysis
  3. Boot LLCI, bootstrapped lower limit confidence interval
  4. Boot ULCI, bootstrapped upper limit confidence interval
  5. X, environmental obesogenicity
  6. Y, presence of self-reported CVD
  7. M1, health-compromising behaviors
  8. M2, multi-system physiological dysregulation
