  1. Each variable shown was mutually adjusted for the other variables in the table. IQR: interquartile range. Medians, interquartile ratios, and percentages are reported on the derivation population. Odd ratios (OR) and the corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) for age is reported per 10 years increment, and these values for median household income are shown per 10,000$.
