The participants' mean age was 58.7 ± 10.9 years. Poor foot self-care behaviour was reported in T2D adults both with (53.3%) and without (54.3%) HF. Participants with HF-comorbidity were statistically significantly older and had higher total daily medication intake. Household income and the total number of daily medications statistically significantly predicted foot self-care behaviour in HF-comorbid T2D adults. Marital status, social support and body mass index predicted foot self-care behaviour in the non-HF group.
