The Brazilian Deprivation Index of the census tract was standardized to a mean of 0 and a standard deviation (SD) of 1
Model 1: Null model (random effect at the census tract level)
Model 2: Education, adjusted for age (random effect at the census tract level)
Model 3: Education and Brazilian Deprivation Index, adjusted for age (random effect at the census tract level)
All estimates considered the sampling weights and the complex sample design
