Note. Results are presented from the proportional odds regression models. Models were first adjusted for predetermined variables and then additionally by modifiable variables. Odds ratios greater than 1 indicate an increased likelihood for higher health satisfaction scores or overall health rating. OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; DM = diabetes mellitus; HbA1c = hemoglobin A1c; PedsQL = Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (Young Adult version).
a
Rated over the past 12 months, comparing 0–4 vs. 5–6 vs. 7–8 or 9–10.
b
Rated current health, comparing poor or fair vs. good vs. very good or excellent.
