β Multiple behaviours are grouped into four categories and order as follows for ordinal regression; ≤1 behaviour, 2–3 behaviours, 4 behaviours, and 5–6 behaviours; * p < 0.01, ** p < 0.05, AOR = Adjusted Odds Ratio, COR = Crude (not adjusted) Odds Ratio. Note: education status was collected at baseline survey of ALSWH in 1996, participants’ age 45–50 years.
