Can the impact of gender equality on health be measured? a cross-sectional study comparing measures based on register data with individual survey-based data

Note: OR Odds Ratio, VPC Variance Partition Coefficient, estimated by variance/(variance + 3.29). * Adjusted for respondent’s age, education level, income and employment level. ** Adjusted for respondent’s age, education level, income, employment level and type of company based on the gender equality index.
