  1. Note: these changes are computed as the changes in percent in income for a given education level and are based on the coefficients of model 3 of Table 2. For example, compared to a woman without cancer and with vocational education the change of the average value of income for a woman with a localized cancer and the same education level is equal to exp(−0.017 + 0.001)-1 = −0.016. The 95% confidence intervals are computed using the delta method.
