  1. 95% confidence interval in parenthesis
  2. RII value can be interpreted as the relative inequalities in ischaemic heart disease mortality and SII as the absolute inequalities in ischaemic heart disease mortality comparing mortality rates between the two extremes of the educational spectrum (taking into account all educational levels)
