Models were adjusted for age (continuous), sex, marital status (married vs. not); education (<High School; High School; >High School), poverty income ratio (0–100%; >100–200%; >200%), language of interview (English vs. Spanish), cigarette smoking status (never, former, current), self-rated health (excellent, very good, good, fair, poor),1995-healthy eating index (quintiles), physical activity (more active, about the same, less active), body mass index and a co-morbidity index. Models for the 20–59y age group were multiple OLS regression models, while those for the 60–90y age group were poisson or zero-inflated poisson regression models.
