Sometimes | 0.89 (0.87, 0.92) | 0.87 (0.85, 0.90) | 0.88 (0.85, 0.90) |

Crude and adjusted incidence rate ratios (cIRR and aIRR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) are presented from Poisson regression models. Demographic + health factor models adjusted for center-mean demographic (% older, % female, % Black, % Hispanic) and health factors (% with diabetes, % undergoing dialysis); demographic + health + social factor models additionally adjusted for center-mean social factors (% low education, % working for income). Associations that are statistically significant at p < 0.05 are bolded
