  1. aFor all the predictor variables, the first category mentioned serves as the referent category. Absence of data against certain predictor variables suggests that those variables were not part of the final model arrived at during multivariable logistic regression for prevalence of respective category of chronic conditions
  2. bPredictor variable is significant at p< 0.05
