a Model 1: individual models for the association of each socioeconomic position indicator with oral health. Models were adjusted for age and sex. The model for use of dental prostheses was also adjusted for the number of teeth.
b Model 2: final model for the association of oral health and socioeconomic position indicators. Models were mutually adjusted for all socioeconomic position indicators. Models were adjusted for age and sex. The model for use of dental prostheses was also adjusted for the number of teeth.
