Notes. Weighted percentages are reported. p Value is from Pearson’s chi-square test. The number of respondents who had a CV event as reported in Table 1 is larger than the number reported in the Supplementary Table 1 and other tables because Table 1 does not exclude respondents whose children are coresident or who have missing values on covariates. Median wealth is 155K in this table. CV = cardiovascular.
