Multivariable logistic regression analysis used examine GD in data from a cross-sectional, self-report survey 293 HD. sample comprised 167 genetically tested respondents, and 66 who were not (80% response rate). Overall, learn they HD younger age (OR = 3.1; 95% CI: 1.5–6.2; P = 0.002), mutation-positive (OR = 2.8; 1.4–6.0; P = 0.006), or highly educated (OR = 2.7; 1.4–5.1; P = 0.002) more likely experience GD, particularly insurance, family, social settings. Further, insurance (OR = 0.97; 0.94–1.00; P = 0.038). This provides evidence some people than others. Individuals learned those Younger the setting. also report discrimination.
