Figure 1.

Data came from older adults (>50 years) in the Health and Retirement Study, 2010-2012

Diabetic morbidity explained 12.7% (95% CI =0.8-24.6%) of the association between food insecurity and depressive symptoms (p-value=0.04)

Parameter estimates (β”s) represent direct effects and were adjusted for gender, age group, race/ethnicity, marital status, educational attainment, work status, retirement status income-to-poverty ratio and number of comorbidities
