Highest socioeconomic position in education, income, and occupation was referent (1.0), respectively. Socioeconomic position measured by education, income, and occupational class. Duncan's post-hoc test is implemented to compare ground differences. Same alphabetical letters indicates no statistical differences between two mean values. Self-reported health (5 = very poor, 4 = poor, 3 = average, 2 = good, 1 = very good).
