Model 1: age, age squared, sex, race, and ethnicity.
Model 2: Model 1 plus obese status, diabetes, cardiovascular disease including hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cancer, chronic kidney disease, liver disease, human immunodeficiency virus, and smoking.
RR relative risk, CI confidence intervals, PTSD post-traumatic stress disorder.
