TABLE 3.

Occurrence of Low Self-Rated Health in Men (N=2094) and Women (N=2413) with Vision impairment, Cognitive Impairment, or Both

Unadjusted Analyses
	Men OR* (95% CI†)	Women OR (95% CI)
Impairment Category	[Prevalence of Low SRH‡]	[Prevalence of Low SRH]
People with vision impairment only	2.59 (1.96,3.43) [24.4%]	9.21 (6.60,12.85) [30.8%]
People with cognitive impairment only	1.76 (0.89,3.48) [18.0%]	1.72 (1.12,2.64) [7.7%]
People with comorbid vision and cognitive impairment	7.00 (3.41,14.35) [46.6%]	11.05 (7.22,16.91) [34.8%]
People with neither impairment	1.0 [11.1%]	1.0 [4.6%]
Adjusted Analyses§
Impairment Category	Men OR (95% CI)	Women OR (95% CI)
People with vision impairment only	1.71 (1.21,2.41)	6.79 (4.64,9.92)
People with cognitive impairment only	1.50 (0.64,3.53)	1.02 (0.62,1.69)
People with comorbid vision and cognitive impairments	4.27 (1.53,11.92)	5.35 (3.12,9.18)
Neither impairment	1.0	1.0

^*OR = odds ratio; compares the odds of low self-rated health among people in each impairment category to the odds of low self-rated health among people with neither impairment

^†CI = confidence interval

^‡Weighted prevalence of low self-rated health

^§Adjusted for Age, Gender, Ethnicity, Education, Marital status, Housing type, Perceived income adequacy, Self-reported chronic diseases (Angina/Myocardial infarction, Cancer, Cerebrovascular disease, Hypertension, Diabetes, Chronic back pain), Disability in basic activities of daily living (BADLs), Disability in instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), and Mobility disability. Models that further adjusted for Depression score did not change results significantly and are not shown.
