Abbreviations: GPSS = Global perceived stress scale; NLE = Negative life events; CVD=Cardiovascular disease.
Associations shown correspond to an income difference equivalent to moving from the 10th to the 90th percentile of the observed income distribution in the sample
CVD risk factors (binary outcome), and GPSS & NLE (continuous, GPSS in 4.38 values of SD and NLE in 1.21 values of SD).
Model 1: Age + Income; Model 2: Age + Income + GPSS; Model 3: Age + Income + NLE; Model 4: Age + Income + GPSS + NLE; Model 5: Age + Income + Behaviors; Model 6: Age + Income + GPSS + NLE + Behaviors.
