P-values < 0.05 are considered statistically significant. Model 1: Adjusted for age and gender. Model 2: Adjusted for Model 1 variables plus education, marital status, and residence. Model 3: Adjusted for Model 2 variables plus smoking, drinking, physical activity (METs), C-reactive protein (CRP), ADL disability, self-reported health, and chronic disease count at baseline
