Note. Data from the 2016 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System; parent status is based on the presence of the respondents’ own children under age 18 who resided in the same household at the time of interview. Age-adjusted estimates of proportions (%) are presented. Post hoc pairwise comparison results are noted when there is a significant difference (p < .01) from (a) parents with disabilities, (b) nonparents with disabilities, (c) parents without disabilities, and (d) nonparents without disabilities. Multivariate logistic regressions were performed on each health indicator controlling for age, gender, race/ethnicity, marital status, employment, education, household income, health care coverage, and nine indicators of chronic conditions (heart diseases/stroke/asthma/cancer/lung diseases/joint problems/kidney problems/diabetes/depressive disorders). Selected adjusted odds ratios (aOR) and 99% confidence interval (CI) are presented. All statistics were adjusted for the complex survey design and all point estimates were weighted.
