  1. All models were adjusted by age (continuous) and basic health zone (random effect), resulting in significant p-values for both in all cases
  2. aControl previous year: Response variable is 'To have HbA1c data within the past 15 months'
  3. bUnachieved targets: Response variable for each risk factor is 'Not to have reached current local targets'
  4. cInteraction between educational level and c sex was significant
