  1. ns: not statistically significant; * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001.
  2. Proportions (in %) are from total for "aware"; from aware for "treated", and from treated for "controlled".
  3. Cut off values for "Controlled" are BP <140/90 mmHg for "high blood pressure", fasting blood glucose <7.0 mmol/l for "diabetes", and cholesterol <6.2 mmol/l for "high total cholesterol".
