Comorbidity* | Adjusted prevalence ratio (95% CI) | |
---|---|---|
Hypertension | 1.09 | (1.07–1.11) |
Diabetes | 1.30 | (1.25–1.34) |
Depression | 1.68 | (1.62–1.74) |
Osteoarthritis | 1.19 | (1.15–1.23) |
Dementia | 1.11 | (1.03–1.19) |
Epilepsy | 1.68 | (1.43–1.98) |
Parkinsonism | 0.90 | (0.73–1.11) |
Note: CI = confidence interval. *We modelled the probability of each of the comorbid conditions, for which the predictor is COPD (yes/no), along with age and sex. Interpretation: People with COPD are 1.09 times as likely to be hypertensive as people without COPD, and so on.
