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
