Random effects (n = 51 intersectional social strata):
Between-stratum variance 0.06 (0.03–0.12) 0.02 (0.003–0.04) 0.08 (0.02–0.19) 0.02 (0.001–0.07)
VPC (%) 4.8% 1.3% 2.1% 0.6%
PCV (%) 73.6% 74.0%

CAL: clinical attachment loss; PD: probing depth; PCV: percentual change in variance; RR: rate ratio; VPC: variance partition component. a Two-level negative binomial regression models were fitted for each periodontal measure, with participants clustered within intersectional social strata. Model A is the simple intersectional model (variance components model), and Model B is the intersectional interaction model (random intercepts model).
