  1. *Participants with 0 comorbidities are not included in the regression models
  2. ORs and 95% Confidence intervals were obtained from ordinal logistic regression models
  3. Model 1: Adjusted for sociodemographic variables: age, sex, race, marital status, and highest level of education
  4. Model 2: Adjusted for variables in model 1, clinical variables (symptoms of AF, type of AF, ablation type) and health behaviors (alcohol use and smoking status)
  5. Model 3: Adjusted for variables in model 2 and psychosocial/geriatric measures (low social support, independent functioning, cognitive impairment, hearing impairment, visual impairment, and frailty status)
