NHANES, National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey; PR, prevalence ratios; CI, confidence intervals

Estimates were derived from log-binomial regression models. Results from models stratified by NHANES survey period presented for ease of interpretation (p-interaction: nativity*survey period = 0.069)

Model 1: Adjusted for age (continuous) and sex (male/female)

Model 2: Adjusted for age (continuous), sex (male/female), householder marital status (married/unmarried), and householder education (<12^th grade/≥12^th grade (high school diploma, includes GED))
