Model 1: Adjusted for demographic and socioeconomic characteristics whose in the crude analysis showed p ≤ 0.20 (age, race/skin color, marital status, schooling, family participation in a government program, family income, employment status and food insecurity—See Supplementary Table 5)
Model 2: Adjusted for lifestyle and health variables whose in the crude analysis showed p ≤ 0.20 (smoking and health problems in the last 15 days) added to the variables of model 1 that showed p < 0.05 in the analysis for the aforementioned model (these variables were different for each outcome evaluated; only age was present in the analysis for all outcomes)—See Supplementary Table 5
Model 3: Adjusted for anthropometric variables whose in the crude analysis showed p ≤ 0.20 (excess weight and neck circumference) plus the variables from model 1 that showed p < 0.05 in the analysis for the aforementioned model (these variables were different for each outcome evaluated; only age was present in the analysis for all outcomes). The lifestyle and health variables were not part of this final model as they did not present p < 0.05 in the analysis of model 2—See Supplementary Table 5
