|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Employed | Professionals | 9 (5–16) | 35 (28–46) | 145 (115–184) | 229 (186–283) |
| Intermediate | 18 (10–33) | 62 (43–90) | 223 (179–279) | 342 (252–465) | |
| Skilled workers | 32 (24–43) | 125 (97–160) | 302 (239–382) | 372 (300–461) | |
| Other workers | 60 (39–86) | 198 (151–260) | 426 (347–523) | 548 (455–661) | |
| Self-employed | 47 (28–80) | 183 (139–240) | 475 (376–601) | 572 (469–698) | |
| Not employed | Unemployed | 484 (368–630) | 2140 (1732–2042) | 3975 (3278–4819) | 7421 (5974–9218) |
| Health benefits | 185 (135–252) | 823 (644–1052) | 2041 (1627–2561) | 1258 (1009–1569) | |
| Disability pension | 637 (495–820) | 2190 (1706–2814) | 3715 (2932–4706) | 3429 (2682–4304) | |
| Absolute rate difference (unemployed – professionals) per million person-years |
468 (408–529) | 2102 (1932–2273) | 3770 (3583–3950) | 6988 (6324–7652) | |
| Population attributable fraction | 0.69 (0.65–0.74) | 0.72 (0.68–0.75) | 0.68 (0.66–0.71) | 0.65 (0.62–0.68) |
The absolute rate difference measures the absolute inequality of alcohol-related liver disease incidence between unemployed and highest employment rank (professionals).
The population attributable fraction is the proportional reduction in ALD in the hypothetical situation where all in the population had the same ALD incidence as the highest employment rank (professionals).
