AOR=adjusted odds ratio.
Note: Unweighted n = 2,017 survey respondents. All numbers in the table are weighted estimates.
a Three parallel multiple logistic regression models were used, 1 for each of 3 multimorbidity profiles.
b Covariates adjusted in multiple regression models included age (≤85 years as reference group), sex (female as reference group), educational attainment (high school or higher as reference group), English proficiency (proficient in English as reference group), and mobility limitation (no mobility limitation as reference group).
