Age	75.14 (5.71)a	54.50 (11.71)	68.97 (6.14)b
BMI	28.69 (5.35)	29.77 (6.62)	28.95 (4.94)
Interleukin-6 (IL-6)	2.94 (3.08)	3.25 (3.24)	3.83 (3.93)

Positive Relationships	5.13 (.63)†	5.79 (.99)††	6.10 (.81)††

Note. SD, standard deviation. Differing superscripts indicate significant mean differences between the Kentucky and Restricted U.S. samples. Raw (untransformed) IL-6 values are presented.

^†indicates that responses were chosen from a 1–6 range, while

^††indicates that responses were chosen from a 1–7 range. T-tests comparing differences in average scores on well-being scales were performed only after variables were rescaled to make response scales identical; however, this table presents average well-being values in their original scale.
