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.

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)* | |

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
