  1. 1: Linear regression models, adjusting for age, ethnicity, income, education, geographical location (for brevity, we did not show regression coefficients for these covariates). Significant regression coefficients (β) 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 t tests between CD and HL in the linear regression models for the entire sample.
