	N/Obs.	b	SE	N/Obs.	b	SE
Note. All regressions included demographic controls: age, gender, education, marital status, disability status, and labor force status, and average income/wealth of an individual’s reference group. BHPS regressions contain additional dummy variables identifying both region and wave.
a High scores on this variable indicate worse health. b High scores on this variable indicate better health.
