AOR, adjusted odds ratio. BP, blood pressure. CESD, Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression scale. CVD, cardiovascular disease. PSS, Perceived Stress Scale.
Model adjusted for the study site (not listed). Due to multicollinearity, the following variables were not included: physical activity, anxiolytic medication, anemia, parity, thyroid medication, blood pressure-lowering medication. No significant interactions with race/ethnicity.
