In Table 5, using Poisson regression models, we replicated models presented in Table 4 for functional limitations and chronic illnesses. For ease of interpretation, the estimated coefficients were transformed into incident rate ratios. For both outcomes, only a subset of stressors maintained significant associations with the outcomes once co-occurring high stressors were accounted for. Life events, financial, relationship, and neighborhood stressors predicted increased risk of functional limitations while life events, financial, and relationship stressors were associated with elevated risk of chronic conditions. The number of stressors was also associated with increasing risk for both outcomes. Of note, all stressors that were significantly associated with the outcomes in Models 2a and 2b maintained significance after adjusting for number of stressors (Models 4a and 4b). Across all four outcomes, relationship and financial stressors were consistently predictive of increasing risk of poor health in the final models. It is also noteworthy that life events stressors were at least marginally significant (p < .10) in the final model for all of our measures of health status.
