Table 3. Factor-level, domain-level, and overall population attributable fractions (PAFs; middle/worst vs. best trajectory).

Individual PAFs (95% CI) Domain PAFs (95% CI)
Socioeconomic factors
Education (elementary/high school vs. university) 19.3% (5.7%-31.0%) 24.7% (11.3%-36.0%)
Occupation (manual vs. non-manual) ---
Financial strain (yes vs. no) 6.1% (2.9%-9.1%)
Psychosocial factors
Social connections (low vs. middle/high) 9.0% (1.7%-15.8%) 23.8% (9.3%-35.9%)
Social support (low vs. middle/high) ---
Social participation (low vs. middle/high) 15.9% (2.2%-27.7%)
Behavioral factors
Smoking (current/former vs. never) --- 37.4% (26.1%-47.1%)
BMI (obese/overweight vs. normal/underweight) 13.2% (0.7%-24.1%)
Physical activity (inadequate vs. fitness-/health-enhancing) 27.1% (20.4%-33.3%)
Overall PAF (95% CI) 66.1% (54.1%-75.0%)

PAFs were obtained based on logistic regression adjusted for age, sex and all other factors (model III), and only for those variables showing a significant association.
