TABLE 4—
Adjusted Odds Ratios and 95% Confidence Intervals for Multivariable Ordinal Logit Models for Associations Among Sociodemographic, Health Insurance, and Health Characteristics and Number of Missing Teeth, Using 3 Response Categories, and Including an Interaction Term for Diabetes and Hypertension: ElderSmile Program; New York, NY; 2010–2012
| Characteristic | AOR (95% CI) |
| Age (≥ 5 y) | 1.43 (1.26, 1.62) |
| Medicaid (yes vs no) | 2.22 (1.43, 3.43) |
| Diabetes (yes vs no at hypertension = no) | 0.20 (0.08, 0.48) |
| Diabetes (yes vs no at hypertension = yes) | 1.52 (0.92, 2.51) |
| Hypertension (yes vs no at diabetes = no) | 0.40 (0.23, 0.71) |
| Hypertension (yes vs no at diabetes = yes) | 3.20 (1.35, 7.11) |
Note. AOR = adjusted odds ratio; CI = confidence interval. As used in the formula below, γj is defined as the probability that the response category ≤ j, where j = 1, 2, 3:
log γj/1 – γj = Age + Medicaid + Diabetes + Hypertension + Diabetes * Hypertension.
