INTRODUCTION: Many US adults have multiple chronic conditions, and @entity101 and @entity6 are among the most common dyads. @entity6 and @entity5710 prevalence are increasing, and both conditions negatively affect cardiovascular health. Early diagnosis and treatment of @entity6 and @entity5710 can benefit @entity1 with @entity101 by preventing @entity65 . METHODS: We analyzed 2011 Minnesota Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data to describe the proportion of adults with @entity101 screened for @entity6 according to US Preventive Services Task Force Recommendations for blood @entity413 testing. Covariates associated with lower odds of recent screening among adults without @entity6 were determined using weighted logistic regression. RESULTS: Of Minnesota adults with self-reported @entity101 , 19.6% had a diagnosis of @entity6 and 10.7% had a diagnosis of @entity5710 . Nearly one-third of adults with @entity101 without @entity6 had not received blood @entity413 screening in the past 3 years. Factors associated with greater odds of not being screened in multivariable models included being aged 18 to 44 years (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 1.77; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.23-2.55); being nonobese, with stronger effects for normal body mass index; having no check-up in the past 2 years (AOR, 2.49; 95% CI, 1.49-4.17); having @entity101 treated with medication (AOR, 2.01; 95% CI, 1.49-2.71); and completing less than a college degree (AOR, 1.45; 95% CI, 1.14-1.84). Excluding respondents with @entity5710 or those not receiving a check-up did not change the results. CONCLUSIONS: Failure to screen among providers and failure to understand the importance of screening among individuals with @entity101 may mean missed opportunities for early detection, clinical management, and prevention of @entity6 .
