| 3 | 1.63 (1.04, 2.55) | 0.032 | 0.98 (0.58, 1.66) if no CVD | 0.938 | 
| 0.40 (0.23, 0.68) with CVD | 0.001 | |||
| 4 | 2.89 (1.22, 6.85) if no CVD | 0.030 | 0.96 (0.50, 1.83) if no CVD | 0.890 | 
| 0.95 (0.56, 1.61) with CVD | 0.847 | 0.37 (0.23, 0.60) with CVD | <.001 | 
Notes. 1 Unadjusted
2 Adjusted for age and race
3 Adjusted for subclinical CVD and prevalent CVD with an interaction of widowhood with prevalent CVD; p-value for interaction term =.21 in men and .019 in women.
4 Includes post bereavement depression and an interaction with time-dependent CVD; p-value for interaction term=.033 in men and .022 in women
