Notes: Results of OLS regression models. Percent explained and indirect effects of adversity on allostatic load were calculated using the -khb- module in Stata12, developed by Karlson, Holm and Breen, with bootstrapped confidence interval. Standard errors in parentheses. Standard errors adjusted for families with multiple respondents. All models control for age, sex, race, Milwaukee, and site of data collection. In addition, Model 1 controls for educational categories; Model 2 for adult social support and adult social strain, Model 3 for smoking, drinking, and physical activity; and Model 4 is the full model with all controls, including educational attainments, social relationships, and health behaviors.
