^a Ideal cardiovascular health is treated as a continuous variable.

^b Calculated as the difference in the β coefficient for race in the reference model (adjusted for age, education, income, and marital status) and separate models further adjusted for each characteristic of interest compared with the β coefficient for race in the reference model.

^c Bootstrapped CIs.

^d The β coefficients for race in the reference model (Black participants compared with White participants) are: overall, β = −0.70 (95% CI, −0.81 to −0.59); men, β = −0.36 (95% CI, −0.53 to −0.18); and women, β = −0.88 (95% CI, −1.01 to −0.74).
