Abbreviation: NCD, Non-Transmissible Chronic Diseases; AIC, Akaike Information Criteria; BIC, Bayesian Information Criteria; df, Degree of freedom; ΔX², delta chi-squared.

Logistic regression models were constructed using the Stepwise method with a dependent binary variable: 1=one or more NCDs; 0=no NCDs. All other variables including Age, Sex, Marital Status, Education, Socioeconomic Level, GDS15, and Braztel, were treated as independent variables.
