Notes:

1. Reference category is persons in US 10 or fewer years.

2. Score of 3+ refers to when Allostatic load is measured as a dichotomous variable indicating a value of three or more. Score of 4+ refers to when Allostatic load is measured as a dichotomous variable indicating a value of four or more.

3. Basic covariate set includes age dummy variables, sex dummy variables, education dummy variables, marital status dummy variables, poverty indicator, rural/urban residence indicator, and wave of study.

4. Extended covariate set includes the additional variables: smoking indicator, fruit and vegetable consumption, health insurance, doctor visits and level of physical activity.

5. *OR is statistically significant p<.10;

^**OR is statistically significant p<.05;

^***OR is statistically significant p<.01
