Table shows estimated coefficients and marginal effects (ME) from bivariate probit models. Standard errors are in parentheses. Race, gender, marital status, age, age squared, self-reported diabetes, high cholesterol, hypertension, obesity, smoking status, and survey year dummies are included in the models, but the estimated coefficients are not shown.
