Estimated population attributable risks (PARs) in Japan.

Mortality
% Exposed a HR PAR
% b n c
Relative deprivation (1+) 15.3 1.25 3.7 44,197

a The % exposed of relative deprivation is in our study participants. That of relative poverty is from Japanese official statistics (comprehensive survey of living conditions). b PAR(%) = Pe(HR − 1)/(Pe(HR − 1) + 1); Pe: the proportion of exposure in the target population; HR: hazard ratio. c The denominator is the annual number of mortality among people 65 years and older in 2015 (N = 1,199,686) which was obtained from governmental reports.
