Adjusted Prevalence Ratios for Poor Levels of Life’s Simple 7 Components for Participants With Compared to those Without Depressive Symptoms^*.

*<p>Prevalence ratios are for having poor levels versus intermediate or ideal levels of Life’s Simple 7 components comparing those with versus those without depressive symptoms.
