Association of indices of inequality for different measures of childhood SEP with incident coronary heart disease with adjustment for potential mediating factors
| Hazards ratio (95% CI) of incident CHD comparing most with least adverse | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 Cox proportional hazards models n = 120 incident cases among 5547 person years of follow up 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. | ||||
