a

Numbers in cells are adjusted odds ratios with calculated 95% confidence intervals, two-tailed probabilities. Values are weighted to the 2000 census age distribution of Koreans in California.

b

Variables are coded as yes (1) and no (0).

c

Continuous score on the acculturation scale. Higher scores correspond to higher assimilation to US lifestyle and lower scores correspond to adhering to more traditional Korean culture.

d

Pre-menopausal model X2 = 22.5, df = 6, p<.001; Nagelkerke R2 = .307

e

Menopausal model X2 = 23.0, df = 6, p<.001; Nagelkerke R2 = .201
