Table 3.

Hazard rate ratios (HRR:s) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI:s) from Cox regression models for all-cause mortality and cause-specific mortality, showing association with combinations of social participation and generalized trust in other people.

The 2008–2016 Scania public health survey with 8.3 years follow-up.

Stratified by gender. Total population n = 25420.

Model 0 unadjusted.

Model 1 Adjusted for age.

Model 2 Additionally adjusted for socioeconomic status, country of birth and chronic disease.

Model 3 Additionally adjusted for leisure-time physical activity, tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption (including all variables in models 0–3).

Significance levels: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.

Weighted Hazard Ratios. Bootstrap method (2000 replicates) for variation estimation.
