APR Adjusted prevalence ratios. APR are weighted for sampling strategy in the SHIS and BHIS, and also for non-response in the SHIS. Variables used for adjustment: self-rated health, body mass index, doctor visit in the last 12 months, smoking
* = p < 0.05; ** = p < 0.01; *** = p < 0.001
a SHIS 1992–2012 and BHIS 1997–2013
b P-values for trend were estimated separately for each predictor of interest with multivariate models including the interaction term (between the predictor of interest and the survey wave variable)
