*Adjusted for age group, sex, local authority, marital status, education level, employment, deprivation score and pre-existing illness.

†Number of observations included in all multivariable models was 484. Both models 1 and 2 included the same participants, but the reference group differed. ORs are only presented for the comparison of interest.

‡Due to very small numbers of participants with ‘severe/extreme problems’ on the self-care dimension, the ‘severe/extreme’ and ‘moderate’ categories were combined.

aOR, adjusted OR.
