PR, prevalence ratio; Ref. reference category.

Model A shows adjusted PR from the multivariable Poisson generalized linear model that included sex and age at first migration.

Model B is equal to Model A adjusted also by deprivation index, education level, smoking status, physical activity and alcohol consumption.
