Area-level variation in all-cause mortality for each spatial unit comprising the Australian Standard Geographical Classification: men and women aged 25–64 years, 1998–2000

	Model 5		Model 6		Model 7		Model 8
	Est	SE	Est	SE	Est	SE	Est	SE
Est, estimate; SLA, statistical local areas; SSD, statistical subdivisions.
Model 5: adjusted for within-SLA variation in age only.
Model 6: adjusted for within-SLA variation in age and variation at the SSD, statistical division and state/territory levels.
Model 7: model 6 adjusted for within-SLA variation in occupation and between-SLA variation in area-disadvantage.
Model 8: model 7 and a cross-level interaction between occupation and area-disadvantage.
