Association of indices of inequality for different measures of childhood SEP with prevalent coronary heart disease with adjustment for potential mediating factors
| Odds ratio (95% CI) of prevalent CHD comparing highest with lowest SEP for each indicator | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Age adjusted | Age and adult SEP adjusted* | Age, adult SEP, and CHD risk factor adjusted† | Age, adult SEP, CHD risk factor, and leg length adjusted‡ | |
| Estimated using logistic regression models n = 2951 participants (456 cases of CHD) with complete data on all variables included in any model. *Adjusted for adult occupational social class, car access, housing tenure, and pension arrangements. †Adjusted for adult socioeconomic position as in † above and smoking, physical activity, alcohol consumption, hypertension, triglyceride and high density lipoprotein concentrations, diabetes insulin resistance status, body mass index, and waist to hip ratio. ‡Adjusted for all covariates as in model ‡ and in addition leg length. | ||||
