Sociodemographic characteristics and psychosocial factors associated with health indicators. Confidence interval plot (odds ratio ± Bonferroni-adjusted (~ 99.9%) confidence intervals) for Model 4 (i.e. including all explanatory variables). GCSEs = general certificate of secondary education. ^*Indicates reference group for categorical explanatory variables. For categorical explanatory variables the odds ratios for self-rated health indicate the changes in odds of reporting better self-rated health associated with the explanatory variable group relative to the reference group. Odds ratios for continuous explanatory variables for self-rated health indicate proportional odds ratios for a 1-unit increase in the explanatory variable on level of self-rated health. Annual household income groups: very low (< £18,000), low (£18,000–£30,999), middle (£31,000–£51,999), high (£52,000–£100,000) and very high (> £100 000). “GCSEs” also includes O levels and certificate of secondary education (CSE). “A levels” also includes national vocational qualification (NVQ), higher national diploma (HND), higher national certificate (HNC) and “other professional qualifications”
