R 2 H 0: Regression model includes income, education, and employment status; R 2 H 1: Regression model includes income, education, employment status, and score on the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale; N/A: Not applicable since current smoker is a binary variable, and therefore a logistic regression model was fitted; Traditional CVD risk factors were modeled separately; BP: blood pressure; HDL: high-density lipoprotein; LDL: low-density lipoprotein.
