Note: Model 1 included the variables UO and self‐view. Model 2 included UO, self‐view, age, sex, BMI, blood pressure treatment status, systolic blood pressure, smoking status, education, participation in a diabetes education program, treatment with insulin, and history of MI. In the analysis for Table 5, we only included individuals with an average or comparatively high Framingham risk (n = 528).
Abbreviation: UP, unrealistic comparative pessimism.
