Note. CI = confidence interval; SF-12 = 12-Item Short Form Health Survey. Step 1 controls for ethnicity, sex, and age; Step 2 controls for ethnicity, sex, age, and equivalized household income; Step 3 controls for ethnicity, sex, age, and exposure to racial discrimination; and Step 4 controls for ethnicity, sex, age, equivalized household income, and exposure to racial discrimination. Range of unweighted SF-12 scores: White British group (0–77.11); Indian group (12.08–70.46); Black African group (10.29–68.65); Pakistani group (7.95–70.45); Bangladeshi group (4.89–69.18); and Black Caribbean group (8.22–70.53).
