ref., reference category; sensitivity analysis I, both digital and general health literacy included in the model as a main effect; OR, odds ratios, controlled for age, sex, education, socioeconomic status, employment and marital status; SE, standard error; significant results marked in bold; all of the studied interactions between digital and general health literacy were nonsignificant; therefore, the results were excluded from the table.
