a
Ever told by doctor or other health care professional that has the condition (except for joint symptoms, which are respondents’ self-report)
b
Percentages are adjusted for age category and use number in the header row as the denominator
c
Adjusted odds ratio (AOR) for CPD (reference = no CPD) from multivariable logistic regression predicting specific health condition; predictor variables = age category, CDP (yes/no). Women without CPD = reference group.
