Table 3. Hazard Ratios (95% Confidence Intervals) from Survival Analyses for Non-Cardiovascular Chronic Disease Mortality by Neighbourhood SES Category Quintiles for CAD Patients (n = 485) After 13.3 Years Follow-Up Time.

Covariates in Models Education Unemployment Median Family Income
Survival model without covariates SES quintile 1.20 (1.02–1.42)* 1.23 (1.01–1.50)* 1.24 (1.03–1.48)*
Survival model with covariates: Step 1 Age (years) 1.07 (1.04–1.10) 1.07 (1.04–1.11) 1.07 (1.04–1.10)
Male sex 0.92 (0.49–1.71) 0.95 (0.51–1.77) 0.97 (0.52–1.82)
BMI 1.02 (0.96–1.08) 1.02 (0.97–1.08) 1.03 (0.97–1.08)
Diabetes 1.76 (0.99–3.13) 1.92 (1.08–3.43)* 1.82 (1.03–3.22)*
Smoking (ever or current) 2.21 (1.13–4.31)* 2.12 (1.08–4.13)* 2.13 (1.10–1.16)*
Alcohol consumption 1.06 (0.68–1.39) 0.89 (0.61–1.31) 0.93 (0.63–1.36)
Step 2 SES quintile 1.20 (1.02–1.42)* 1.30 (1.06–1.60)* 1.21 (1.01–1.46)*

Hazard ratios, 95% confidence intervals, and significance values for each quintile increase in SES indices are given from Cox regression models for risk of non-cardiovascular chronic disease mortality. Covariates listed were force-entered in adjusted Cox regression models
