  1. 1: Linear regression models, for the entire sample, model 1 adjusting for age, ethnicity, income, geographical location; model 2 further adjusting for education based on model 1; model 3 further adjusting for the presence of chronic disease based on model 2. Significant regression coefficients (β) and 95% CI were shown in bold at P <0.05.
  2. 2: CD = chronic disease HL = health literacy.
