Likelihood of Having Poor Glycemic and Blood Pressure Control Among Adults with Previously Diagnosed Diabetes and Hypertension
| Adjusted Models* | Odds Ratio | 95% CI |
|---|---|---|
| Note: elevated hemoglobin = HbA1c ≥ 8.0%; elevated systolic blood pressure = >140 mmHg; elevated diastolic blood pressure = >90 mmHg. | ||
| CI = confidence interval; HbA1c = glycosylated hemoglobin. | ||
| * Adjusted for age, sex, level of income, insurance coverage, and level of education. | ||
| † Adjusted for age, sex, level of income, insurance coverage, level of education, self-reported health status, length of time with disease, body mass index, usual source of care, number of times seeing physician within last year. | ||
