Bold text represents statistically significant effect size at p < .05.

CHD risk factors include body mass index, cholesterol-lowering medications, and antihypertensive medications.

Adulthood SEP variables includes education, family income, and employment status.

Psychosocial functioning variables include depressive symptomatology, anger-out expression, positive social contacts, and negative social contacts.

Represents percent change in nontransformed 10-year CHD risk for the three riskiest scores (score, 1–3) compared with the least risk score (score, 0).

CHD = coronary heart disease; SEP = socioeconomic position; CI = confidence interval.
