Notes: aHR = adjusted hazard ratio; BMI = body mass index; CI = confidence interval; HR = hazard ratio; NDI = neighborhood deprivation index; Bold= significant at p < .05 (results of 1.00 in bold are > 1 at the thousandth decimal place). Missing BMI (n = 57,551, 2.4%) was included as a category in all analyses.

Incidence rate per 1,000 person-years.

Model 1: age, sex, race, service area.

Model 2: age, sex, race, service area, Medicaid, NDI.

Model 3 (fully adjusted): age, sex, race, service area, Medicaid, NDI, BMI, hypertension, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, heart failure, dysrhythmias, renal disease, diabetes.

Model 4 (extended model): age, sex, race, service area, Medicaid, NDI, BMI, hypertension, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, heart failure, dysrhythmias, renal disease, diabetes, any respiratory condition.
