1According to 95% confidence interval, the risk of CVD in age groups 2 and 3 was significantly different. Age groups 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 were significantly different from age groups 1, 2, 3, and 4. In addition, age group 9 and 8 were significantly different from age group 5.
2According to 95% confidence interval, the risk of CVD was significantly less among Canadians with some postsecondary education or postsecondary graduation compared to Canadians with less than secondary school graduation or secondary school graduation. The risk of CVD was significantly less among Canadians with highest income compared to upper-middle income.
