  • Adjusted for SES and other explanatory variables (n=298).

  • Model 1 includes all SES variables. Model 2 includes all SES and other variables excluding overweight status that reached the selection criteria in univariate analysis (p≤0.05 or OR <0.5 or >2.0 for categorical and <0.75 or >1.5 for continuous variables): physical activity for elevated blood pressure; gender and cardiovascular risk diet for low HDL; ethnicity for LDL; cardiovascular risk diet for overweight. Model 3 includes all SES, other explanatory variables and overweight status.

  • BMI, body mass index; HDL, high-density lipoproteins; LDL, low-density lipoproteins; SEI, Swedish Socioeconomic Classification Index; SES, socioeconomic status.
