Multivariate model of racial and geographic differences in prevalence, awareness, treatment and control of dyslipidemia

			Unadjusted	Demographic + SES + risk factor adjusted
Prevalence	race	black vs. white	1.05(1.00−1.11)	0.74 (0.66−0.77)
	region	other regions vs. stroke belt	1.02 (0.96−1.07)	1.01 (0.94−1.09)
Awareness	race	black vs. white	0.69 (0.63−0.75)	0.69 (0.61−0.78)
	region	other regions vs. stroke belt	0.93 (0.85−1.02)	0.92 (0.83−1.03)
Treatment	race	black vs. white	0.77 (0.69−0.86)	0.77 (0.67−0.89)
	region	other regions vs. stroke belt	0.97(0.87−1.08)	0.95 (0.83−1.08)
Control	race	black vs. white	0.52 (0.47−0.58)	0.67 (0.58−0.77)
	region	other regions vs. stroke belt	0.88 (0.79−0.98)	0.87 (0.76−0.99)

Demographic = Control for age, sex, marital status, urban/rural; SES = socioeconomic status: further adjustment for income, education, insurance status; risk factor adjusted = further adjustment for diabetes, hypertension, smoking, alcohol use, physical activity level, and BMI.
