aShown as odds ratio (95% confidence interval) obtained from a multivariable logistic regression model adjusted for the variables shown, as assessed from a cross-sectional convenience sample of 380 adults aged 30-75y recruited in 2015 from primary care clinics in the San Juan, Puerto Rico metropolitan area. Two or more cardiometabolic conditions (n = 139) was defined as the sum of current self-reported medically-diagnosed hypertension, obesity, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, pre-diabetes, diabetes, and heart disease or stroke. Two or more chronic diseases (n = 234) was defined as the sum of current self-reported medically-diagnosed cardiometabolic conditions plus thyroid disease, arthritis, osteoporosis, anxiety, depression, cancer, bladder or kidney disease, gastrointestinal disease (including liver), eye-related diseases, sleep apnea, respiratory diseases, and physical disabilities. The reference categories were having none or one condition/disease
