Table 3.

Adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence Interval (CI) for CMD, adjusted for standard occupational classification (bold values are significant at the 95% level). Model 1 (M1) adjusted for household tenure, Model 2 (M2) adds adjustment for life events and alcohol, Model 3 (M3) adds adjustment for informal support and Model 4 (M4) adds adjustment for social participation.
