  1. 1: Log-binomial regression models, adjusting for age, ethnicity, income, education, geographical location. Significant PRs and 95% CI were shown in bold at P <0.05.
  2. 2: HL = health literacy CD = chronic disease.
  3. 3: P for interaction by wald χ2 tests between CD and HL in the log-binomial regression models for the entire sample. Significant P values were shown in bold at the level of less than 0.05.
