Note: We examined several additional variables, but they did not remain significant in the non-response propensity model and were somewhat duplicative of variables presented here, thus were not included in the table. These variables included: Panel 4 questionnaire mode; number of daily sedentary hours; anxiety; PTSD; alcohol-related problems; current tobacco use (not cigarettes); use of psychiatric medication; history of complementary and alternative medicine treatment; stress of taking care of family; number of lifetime stressful events
