Odds ratios and confidence intervals of the effect of time period on the number of comorbidities in T2D patients, stratified by age and gender, estimated by means of ordered logistic regression adjusting for within cluster variation.

Adjusted for age (within each age group) and insurance duration. Outcome: number of comorbidities in four categories: 0, 1, 2 and 3 + .

All odds ratios were significant at p < 0.001.
