Table 3.
Adjusted 1 prevalence ratios (PRs) and 95% CI for impairments in EQ-5D, by HL 2 and CD 2
| HL level | The presence/absence of CD | P 3 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| High HL | Low HL | With CD | Without CD | ||
| With CD (ref. without CD) | With CD (ref. without CD) | Low HL (ref. high HL) | Low HL (ref. high HL) | ||
| EQ-5D Impairments | PRs (95% CI) | PRs (95%CI) | PRs (95% CI) | PRs (95% CI) | |
| Mobility | 3.86 (1.67, 8.95) | 3.56 (2.00, 6.35) | 1.10 (0.58, 2.11) | 3.95 (1.47, 10.65) | 0.978 |

| Usual activities | 2.71 (1.81, 4.05) | 2.46 (1.54, 3.92) | 0.80 (0.49, 1.31) | 1.34 (0.70, 2.56) | 0.928 |

1: Log-binomial regression models, adjusting for age, ethnicity, income, education, geographical location. Significant PRs and 95% CI were shown in bold at P <0.05.
2: HL = health literacy CD = chronic disease.
3: P for interaction by wald χ 2 tests between CD and HL in the log-binomial regression models for the entire sample. Significant P values were shown in bold at the level of less than 0.05.
