Fig. 2From: Health inequalities in childhood diseases: temporal trends in the inter-crisis periodRelative index of temporal trends in inequality (two-way interaction) by sex and sex effect trend#sex (three-way interaction) by disease. (Boys: straight lines; Girls: dashed lines). The effect of sex on trends in inequalities was significant in four diseases. Girls showed a stronger upward trend than boys in congenital anomalies (β Ridit#year#sex = 0.024, p = 0.003) and in adverse birth outcomes (β Ridit#year#sex = 0.062, p = 0.003). In contrast, girls showed a downward trend compared with boys in mood disorders (β Ridit#year#sex = -0.039, p = 0.010) and in adjustment and anxiety disorders (β RiditI#year#sex = -0.028, p = 0.010).Back to article page
