Notes: Adjusted prevalence ratios associated with 1 standard deviation increase of each of the independent variables are reported. Separate models were fit to the data for each of the four nativity-language groups. Job control and job demands were included in the models separately. All models were adjusted for age, sex, education, and occupation. Foreign-born models were also adjusted for years in the US and the age of migration. In addition, the US- and foreign-born English models were adjusted for race/ethnicity.
