Model estimates are for veterans (nonveterans are the reference group).

Minimally-adjusted model adjustments: chronological age, chronological age2, sex, and race/ethnicity.

Fully-adjusted model adjustments: Minimally-adjusted + alcohol, BMI, education, general health, occupation, physical activity, PIR, smoking, and estimated leukocyte proportions. BMI, body mass index; PIR, poverty-to-income ratio.

P < .05: statistically significant.

P < .10: marginally significant.
