Crimmins | −1.51 | (−1.89, −1.13) | −0.46 | (−0.92, 0.01) |

Linear regressions were adjusted for age, sex, race and education. Each method of allostatic load was x-standardized so that it corresponds to the average effect of a one standard deviation unit change in allostatic load on MCS-12 or PCS-12.
