Model Adjustments:

Model 1 = G-statistic + G-statistic*Gender + Years + Gender* Years + Baseline Age* Years + foreign born* Years (Hispanic only) + Baseline Years in neighborhood* Years

Model 2 = Model 2 + neighborhood poverty

Model 3 = Model 3 + Education* Years + Income per capita+ Wealth index + Working status + Marital status + Cancer + smoking + language* Years (Hispanic only)

Notes: Estimates for the Gi* statistic reflect at 1.96 unit change. Estimates for neighborhood poverty reflect a 1 standard deviation change. P-values reflect two-sided tests.
