Models are adjusted for age and sex. Number of subjects analyzed in each stressor subgroup indicated in parenthesis.

*

Living in areas with environmental noise exposure > 45 dbA, highest tertile crime rate, and/or lowest tertile household income

Living in areas with environmental noise exposure >45 dbA.

Living in areas with household income in the lowest tertile.

§

Living in areas with the highest tertile of crime rate.
