Note. CI = confidence interval; HR = hazard ratio; XF% = explained fraction.

a

Age.

b

Age and education.

c

Age and income.

d

Age and occupational class position.

e

Age and all socioeconomic position variables.

f

XF% is not calculated (…) for immigrant groups with lower HR than native-born because there is no excess risk to “explain” by socioeconomic position. XF% for immigrant groups with lower HRs of mortality after adjustment for socioeconomic position indicators is set to 100% and refers to the fact there is no excess risk left to be explained after adjustment for socioeconomic position.
