§Crude prevalences are based on participants without weighting.

#Sampling weighted (SW) prevalence estimates are based on participants and sampling probabilities.

Inverse probability weighted (IPW) prevalence estimates are corrected for the nonresponse.

Doubly robust (DR) prevalence estimates are corrected for the nonresponse.

True prevalences based on the full sample and sampling probabilities, and corresponding estimates based on participants and different statistical methods to account for missing data in continental Finland and in different subgroups.
