In the adjusted analysis (Model 2), we included age, gender, region, race/ethnicity, income level, education, insurance status, disease category and modifiable risk factors (smoking status, obesity (BMI ≥30 kg/m2), diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, as well as whether the participant spends a half hour or more in moderate to vigorous physical activity at least three to five times a week).
