Table 2 Relationship between urban-rural character of area and the likelihood of (a) limiting illness or (b) poor general health, in people aged 25–74 years. Data represents odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) from logistic regression models.
From: Urban and rural variations in morbidity and mortality in Northern Ireland
