  1. AMI, Acute Myocardial Infarction. N.A., not assessed, no significant association between neighbourhood SES and AMI in age-groups ≥95 years.
  2. † PAR: Proportion of AMI incidence attributable to socioeconomic inequalities. Socioeconomic quintile Q1 is the reference category.
  3. Total number of events attributable to total socioeconomic inequalities (= PAR * number of events per age-gender group).
  4. ‡ PP: Preventable proportion of AMI incidence attributable to socioeconomic inequalities.
  5. Previous socioeconomic quintile is the reference category.
  6. Number of events attributable to socioeconomic inequalities (= PP * number of events per age-gender group).
