1: Log-binomial regression models, for the entire sample, model 1 adjusting for age, ethnicity, income, geographical location, model 2 further inclusion of education based on model 1, model 3 further inclusion of the presence of chronic disease based on the model 2. Significant PRs and 95% CI were shown in bold at P <0.05.
2: HL = health literacy CD = chronic disease.
