| Men, <75 years | ||||
| Model A | 2408 | 6.52 (6.35 to 6.69) | 0.41 | |
| Model B | 3013 | 6.91 (6.39 to 7.44) | 0.08 | |
| Model C | 2407 | 6.40 (6.22 to 6.59) | 0.72 (0.26 to 1.17) | 0.41 |
‘Absolute deprivation’ refers to ward-level deprivation; ‘Relative deprivation inequality’ refers to modulus of the difference between deprivation in the ward and the average deprivation in all neighbouring wards; model A and model B are univariate models, model C is a multivariate model.
