This study sought to determine if individuals with longer periods without health insurance in multivariable analyses controlling for income, poverty, and health status/behavior at the beginning of the time period will be more likely to be overweight to report experiencing hypertension or diabetes or to describe their health as fair or poor. We also looked to see if the effects of a lack of insurance would be greater in rural areas as compared to those people living in metropolitan areas.
