  1. aEstimates are derived from logistic regression models including age category (50–54;..;65–69), education level (low, medium, high), year of the survey, and interaction term between education and year. Adjusted risk differences and ratios are derived using the post-estimation command adjrr in STATA. Reference prevalence corresponds to the model predicted prevalence for the average of all years in the sample. P-values in parenthesis
  2. b Estimates are derived from the post-estimation command margins, dydx in STATA, corresponding to the average marginal (partial) effects, meaning that the effects are calculated for each observation in the sample and then averaged
