a

Outcome for model 1 is global allostatic load adjusted for age, education, smoking status, alcohol consumption, and physical activity.

b

P < .05.

c

P < .001

d

Outcomes for models 2a through 2i are individual allostatic load components adjusted for age, education, smoking status, alcohol consumption, and physical activity.
