Exclusions included pregnancy (and those of unknown
pregnancy status) (n555), adults without self-reported diabetes
but with self-reported high blood pressure (n1,704),
and those with missing self-reported diabetes and/or high
blood pressure status (n58) for a final study population of
5,867. The “other” and “other Hispanic” categories for race
and ethnicity (n411) were excluded in regression analyses
because of small subgroup sample sizes and NHANES analytic
guidance for analysis of Hispanics.17For all regression analyses,
a complete case analysis using only participants with data
for all variables in the model (n5,071) was performed because
there were significant differences in two outcome variables
among adults who had and did not have a value for
poverty income ratio.
