Notes: The sample size is approximately 4500 (939 unique people) males and 4500 (926 unique) females. Sample sizes differ slightly for each variable because of missing values. Regression models include individual fixed effects, dummy variables indicating interview/exam, age, marital status, whether a person had a cardiovascular event (CVD), whether parents had CVD, and whether parents are living.

^**indicates p-value≤0.05,
