*Bolded coefficients represent those with an alpha level of less than 0.05. Model fit: Pseudo R2 = 0.147; LR χ2(56) = 1424.98, P < 0.001.

†Respondents without the specific chronic health condition are used as the reference for each respective condition.

‡The no risk trajectory (n = 4211) is the reference group for the model.

§Male is the reference group.

‖Nonwhite/Hispanic is the reference group.

CIs, confidence interval; RRR, relative risk ratio.
