The results of a multinomial logistic regression analysis are shown, with non-adherence as the reference category. Since, adherence decreased with age; the remaining variablesare age-adjusted. The reference category for the dependent variables was set as non-adherence. The reference category within each independent variable was set to an odds ratio of one.
