Table 3.
Results from univariable and multivariable analyses, estimating the relative statin therapy initiation rates, adjusted for time, with regard to sex, age group, and Townsend score quintile

| Age group (years) | 18–34 | 0.03 (0.029, 0.031) | 0.029 (0.028, 0.029) |
| 35–49 | 0.29 (0.286, 0.291) | 0.283 (0.281, 0.286) | |
| 50–59 | 1 | 1 | |
| 60–69 | 1.96 (1.949, 1.979) | 1.99 (1.973, 2.002) | |

| ≥85 | 0.66 (0.647, 0.676) | 0.69 (0.675, 0.705) | |
| Townsend score quintile | 1 (least deprived) | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 1.03 (1.019, 1.036) | 1.05 (1.039, 1.056) | |
| 3 | 0.98 (0.975, 0.991) | 1.14 (1.131, 1.150) | |
| 4 | 0.98 (0.971, 0.988) | 1.26 (1.251, 1.273) | |
| 5 (most deprived) | 0.99 (0.979, 0.998) | 1.39 (1.372, 1.399) | |
Notes: In the multivariable model, rates for sex are adjusted for age and Townsend score, rates for age groups are adjusted for sex and Townsend score, and rates for Townsend score are adjusted for sex and age group.
