Logistic Regression Results Showing Changes in Relative Risk of Death by 2004 and 2010 for Each Racial/Ethnic Groups, Compared to Non-Hispanic Whites, in the Health and Retirement Study

	Period 1: 1998–2004		Period 2: 2004–2010
	Dead by 2004		Dead by 2010

Notes: CI = confidence interval; HE = English-speaking Hispanics; HS = Spanish-speaking Hispanics; N = number of observations; NHW = non-Hispanic Whites (Whites); NHB = non-Hispanic Blacks (Blacks). 95% CI is reported inside the parenthesis. All statistical tests are compared to the referent group (“NHW”). M1 is the base model with race adjusted. M2 is the fully adjusted model that also adjusts for age, gender, marital status, income (in tertiles), wealth (in tertiles), education, insurance plan, self-reported health status, smoking prevalence, drinking prevalence, body mass index, number of living parents, number of siblings, and number of children.
