Chapter 6 126 a PAF of 35.5%. This outcome signifies that socially excluded adults have a 6.36-fold higher chance of experiencing low personal control than non-excluded adults and that a hypothetical reduction of 35% in the prevalence of low personal control could be achieved if the socially excluded segment of the population were to have the same level of personal control as the rest of the population. An overview of RRs and PAFs is given in Figures 1a and 2a. Figure 1. Relative risks of SE and four social factors, single (Panel a) and combined with SE (Panel b). - Panel 1a. First orange dot: adults with low education had a 3.8 times higher risk of diabetes than other adults. Last orange dot: adults with low education had a 3.2 times higher risk of low personal control than other adults. - Panel 1b. First orange dot: adults with low education and/or SE had a 3.2 higher risk of diabetes than other adults. Last orange dot: adults with low education and/or SE had a 5.9 times higher risk of low personal control than other adults. Figure 2.
