Chapter 6 130 Figure 3. Relative risk by social factor SF, without and with SE, compared to the non-exposed group (SF-SE- group) high blood pressure than the RRs of SE alone. Additionally, the RR for poor SRH increased when SE was combined with a low labour market position (Figure 2a). In all other cases, combining SE with one of the four social factors resulted in equal or lower RRs (Table 5). The PAFs were all substantially higher than those for SE alone, as shown in Figure 2b. For example, the RR and PAF for anxiety and depression symptoms by SE combined with low labour market position were 8.54 and 59.45, respectively, while those by SE alone were 7.95 and 41.60, respectively. This combination appears to be the most promising combination for population segmentation. Together, these two stratifiers, SE and low labour market position, identified 67.2% of the prevalence of anxiety and depression symptoms and 60.4% of the prevalence of low personal control in the adult population of the four study cities (Table 6). Worth mentioning are also the PAFs of inactivity (30.93), low SRH (29.71), diabetes (19.58), obesity (17.57) and high blood pressure (11.49) in this population segment (Table 5).
