  1. OR: odds ratio; 95%CI: 95% confidence interval.
  2. *Adjusted values were derived from multiple binary logistic regression models with sex, age group, BMI, highest level of education, marital status, country of birth, location and SEIFA decile entered simultaneously as predictors.
  3. Socioeconomic status (SEIFA) data for hip arthritis and osteoarthritis are presented in the Additional file1 (Table A1).
