Table 3. Elevated allostatic load by church attendance.

Allostatic load Scorea	Odds ratio (95% CI) of higher allostatic load score of No Church vs. Some Church
2–3 vs. 0–1	1.24 (1.01–1.50) b
≥ 4 vs. 0–1	1.38 (1.11–1.71) c

^aTotal allostatic load score was categorized using 2 different cutoffs (0–1, 2–3, and ≥4). Sum of the components include diastolic BP, systolic BP, HbA1c, waist to hip ratio, HDL, total cholesterol/HDL ratio, albumin, C-reactive protein, heart rate and BMI concentrations.

^bP = 0.04
