Notes:
Adjusted proportion ratios are used to compare the results for different population subgroups. An adjusted ratio above 1 shows that the indicator is more likely, and an adjusted ratio below 1 shows the indicator is less likely, in the group of interest (e.g. Māori) than the reference group (e.g. non-Māori), after adjusting for demographic variables that could influence the association.
Adjusted ratios
|
|||
---|---|---|---|
Population groups being compared | Ratio | (95% CI) | Adjustment variables |
Sex | |||
Women vs men | 1 | ( 0.85 - 1.18 ) | Age |
Neighbourhood deprivation | |||
Most deprived vs least deprived | 1.25 | ( 0.99 - 1.58 ) | Age, Sex |
Men: Most deprived vs least deprived | 1.15 | ( 0.8 - 1.63 ) | Age |
Women: Most deprived vs least deprived | 1.36 | ( 1.01 - 1.84 ) | Age |
Adherence to drinking advice | |||
Met all three elements of the low risk drinking advice vs those who didn't | 0.47 | ( 0.33 - 0.67 ) | Age, Sex |
Men: Met all three elements of the low risk drinking advice vs those who didn't | 0.51 | ( 0.33 - 0.8 ) | Age |
Women: Met all three elements of the low risk drinking advice vs those who didn't | 0.39 | ( 0.22 - 0.7 ) | Age |
For example, an adjusted ratio of 1.50 for Māori vs non-Māori means that the indicator is 1.5 times more likely in Māori than non-Māori, after adjusting for differences in demographic variables such as sex and age.
A highlighted value indicates that the adjusted ratio is statistically significant ( p value < .05).
