Source. SABE-Bogotá, those with measured HTN and born in Colombia (n = 1,890).

Note. Shown are odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals and significance levels based on imputation models combining five imputed data sets. LL and BIC in table show a range based on each individually imputed data set; lower values for BIC are preferred; all models were different from the null model (p < .001) except diabetes Model 1 (p < .01). HTN and diabetes as dependent variables are not imputed. Model 1 controls for age and gender; Model 2 adds obesity; Model 3 adds education and smoking. Figures 1 and 2 show predicted probabilities for early life conditions using Model 2 for HTN and diabetes. HTN = hypertension; OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; LL = log likelihood; BIC = Bayesian information criterion; SABE = Survey of Health, Wellbeing and Aging.
