  1. CVD, cardiovascular disease; Q, quartile; Ref, reference; PIR, family income-poverty ratio; BMI, body mass index; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; HEI, healthy eating index.
  2. Model 3: adjustments for age, sex, race/ethnicity, education level, marital status, PIR, smoking status, alcohol consumption, BMI, HEI, disease histories (trouble sleeping, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and cancer), blood pressure, glycohemoglobin, low-density lipoprotein, and eGFR.
  3. P value for interaction: interaction of stratified variable and PHQ-9 score on CVD.
  4. The white race was defined as non-Hispanic white. Low family income level is defined as PIR lower than 3.50. High family income level is defined as PIR of at least 3.50.
