Data Source: 2017 Wave, PSID. Sample: PSID heads and spouses, 25 years and older. Weights: PSID individual cross-section weights. Income quartiles are determined across households using family weights.

Stars (*) are for tests of risk factors being of a subgroup being significantly different from base group, where:

^*P-value ≤ 0.10

^**P-value ≤ 0.05

^***P-value ≤ 0.01.
