**

Statistically significant in a two-tailed test (p<0.01).

The reference group is adults who are not cancer survivors and have no chronic conditions. The odds ratio for the reference group is 1. Odds ratios are adjusted for age, race, education, marital status at diagnosis/baseline, employment status at diagnosis/baseline, occupation at diagnosis/baseline, and health insurance from own employer at diagnosis/baseline.
