  1. Note: Each modified Poisson regression model accounted for clustering within neighborhood (i.e., census tract at Exam 1) [47]
  2. * Primary CVH outcomes were measured during Exams 1 and 2 in MASALA and Exams 1 and 5 in MESA. Secondary CVH outcomes included all cohort exams in JHS, MASALA, and MESA, except for JHS Exam 1 because exposure was assessed after JHS Exam 1
  3. Each outcome model using modified Poisson regression was adjusted for age, sex/gender, race, nativity, geographic region, marital status, self-rated health, insurance, family CVD history, social support, education level, income, employment, anger, depressive symptoms, chronic stress, discrimination, neighborhood deprivation, and neighborhood safety
  4. Neighborhood social cohesion and visit product term coefficients for unadjusted model: -0.01, 0.002, p = 0.82; adjusted model: -0.005, 0.01, p = 0.76
  5. § Neighborhood social cohesion and visit product term coefficients for unadjusted model: 0.05, 0.03, p = 0.47; adjusted model: 0.05, -0.01, p = 0.32
