MHLC indicates Multidimensional Health Locus of Control; OR, odds ratio; and ref, referent.

*

Compared with survivors without any cardiovascular disease risk factor underdiagnosis and undertreatment (n=323; referent).

Consisting of physical inactivity, low fruit/vegetable consumption, and current smoking/tobacco use.

25–29 and ≥30 kg/m2 categories combined as univariate analyses showed ORs 2.4 for both categories when compared with <25 kg/m2.

§

Defined as T‐score ≥50 vs <50 (ref).

Modeled as a linear term with risk estimates reflecting the association with a 1‐unit increase in the scale value.
