  1. a CVD: self-reported cardiovascular disease; Diabetes, no: cases not reporting diabetes; Diabetes, yes: reported diabetes.
  2. b,c,d Logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) for self-reported CVD in the minority groups compared to the reference group (Norwegians). Adjusted for age and gender in Model 1. Additionally adjusted for education and employment in Model 2. Further adjusted for body height in Model 3.
  3. e p-value.
