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

Notes:Asterisk (*) are test of risk factors of a subgroup being significantly different from base group, where:

^*P-value≤0.10;

^**P-values≤0.05;

^***P-value≤0.01.

Base group is top quartile in the same age group.
