  1. Note. M = Mean; SD = Standard Deviation. High and Low Community Deprivation Index (CDI) scores, or socioeconomic deprivation, based on median split. Scores on the Community Deprivation Index ranged from 0.19-0.69, with a mean of 0.40 and median of 0.35. aThe following were missing for health markers at the initial visit: AST, n = 8; ALT, n = 8; GGT, n = 21; LDL, n = 10; HDL, n = 9; Cholesterol, n = 9; Triglycerides, n = 9; Urine microalbumin, n = 15. bDepressive symptoms reflect data available for n = 19 patients for the PHQ-9 at the initial visit. cCDI = Community Deprivation Index, ranging from 0–1 with higher scores indicating higher community deprivation; calculated from address at initial visit
