All results are multivariable adjusted except as noted. In addition, all models are adjusted for numerous sociodemographic covariates including education, income level, marital status, race and ethnicity, type of health insurance, metropolitan statistical area, and geographic location.

b

Unadjusted (i.e., univariate) ORs and 95%CIs for the association between CP and each chronic disease outcome.
