Notes.

*

We defined a respondent as having poor health if he/she self-rated poor or fair health in at least two consecutive interviews, starting in 1991 through 2009.

**

Adjusted for health status in 1990, age, education level in 1990, and state-level median income in 1990.

HR=Hazard Ratio; AHR=Adjusted Hazard Ratio; CI=Confidence Interval.
