Model 1 controls only for age. Model 2 controls for age and SES. Model 3 controls for age, SES, and Smoking.
Model 4 controls for age, SES, Smoking, and military factors.
Note: Missing data were handled by STATAs multiple imputation suite.
Note: Sample differs compared to Self-Rated Health models due to higher level of missing data for ADLs.
