  1. Age-adjusted analyses; RII, relative index of inequality (RII > 1 indicates higher prevalence with lower levels of education, RII < 1 indicates lower prevalence with lower levels of education); Urbanicity, percentage of households living in urban areas (per SD = 7.5). Model for each outcome include all main effects of the variables simultaneously with no interactions (Model 2)
