Notes: HRS = Health and Retirement Study; HS = high school; SES = socioeconomic status. Data are pooled from the 2006 and 2008 waves of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS). Analyses were weighted to adjust for differential selection into study. Model 1 adjusted for age, marital status, and wealth. Model 2 adjusted for age, marital status, wealth, alcohol use, smoking status, physical inactivity, overweight/obesity, CES-D, and comorbid chronic conditions.

aNon-Hispanic White is the reference category. bMen are the reference category. cSome college or more is the reference category. dHigh income is the reference category.

Significance levels for two-tailed tests of coefficients: *p < .05, **p < .01, ***p < .001.
