Notes on methodology: Multiple imputation utilized to impute missing values, yielding a final analytic sample of 1,106. The imputation model included any independent or dependent variable used in any of our statistical models. Each analysis utilized 20 imputations. Models adjusted for age, sex, race, marital status, income, education, smoking, and physical activity, and accounted for sampling weights.
