† generated from a multivariable logistic regression with family history of SCDY as the dependent variable, and age group, sex, race, education, and household income as the independent variables; * reported having at least one biological family member that had a sudden cardiac death, or sudden unexplained death, between the ages of 1 and 39. Ref refers to the reference category used for that variable within the logistic regression model.
