Abbreviations: HR, Hazard ratio; CI, Confidence interval.
Notes: N = 9854 (4943 females; 4911 males) individuals aged 40 and older at arrival during 1986–1998. Estimates are from Cox proportional hazards models with low-disadvantage neighborhoods as the reference. All models are adjusted for age, sex, country of origin, number of family members, marital status, and fixed effects (i.e., indicator variables) for year of arrival and municipality.
