SES=socioeconomic status. CVD=cardiovascular disease. Gender (1=female, 0=male). Ethnicity (1=white, 0=nonwhite). CVD diagnosis=ever diagnosed with CVD (yes=1, no=0). Diabetes=ever diagnosed with diabetes (yes=1, no=0). Smoking=current smoker (yes=1, no=0). Current SES=educational attainment of participant.
