BMI = body mass index; SBP = systolic blood pressure; DBP = diastolic blood pressure; B = unstandardized regression coefficients; SE(B) = standard error of the regression coefficients; β = standardized regression coefficients.

Model 1 included life satisfaction and demographic covariates. Model 2 included life satisfaction, demographic, behavioral, and cardiovascular covariates. Model 3 included life satisfaction, depressive symptoms, demographic, behavioral, and cardiovascular covariates.
