Relative and absolute inequalities in AMI incidence according to level of education by gender and age group: a CVDNOR project.

Abbreviations: AMI, Acute myocardial infarction. AASIR, Average age-standardised incident rate between 2001 and 2009. IRR, Incidence rate ratio from Poisson regression. RII, relative index of inequality. Ratio between rates at the upper 100th- and lower 0th %-end of the education scale. SII = slope index of inequality, absolute difference in rate per 100 000 between the upper 100th %- and lower 0th %-end of the education scale. IRR, RII and SII are adjusted for age and calendar year in each gender- and age strata. Total model also adjusted for gender. *Person-years for the total population at risk of getting an incident AMI. Relative and absolute inequalities in AMI incidence according to level of education by gender and age group: a CVDNOR project.
