  1. Model estimates are for participants with good–excellent self-rated health status (participants with poor–fair self-rated health status serve as the reference group)
  2. †Models adjusted for chronological age, chronological age2, sex, race/ethnicity, alcohol intake, BMI, education, occupation, physical activity, PIR, health insurance, and smoking. Models with additional adjustments for estimated leukocyte proportions are noted
  3. P < 0.007: Bonferroni significant
  4. P < 0.05: marginally significant
