Estimates based on survey-generalized linear regression models assuming a Gaussian distribution for continuous outcomes (Z scores) and logistic distribution for low mental status. MetS was defined using the IDF specifications. Models include sex, age splines (at age 65)*MetS interaction, education, Hispanic/Latino background, and CES-D-10 scale.
