  1. a Sampling weights were calculated by Statistics Netherlands based on a linear model with 9 sociodemographic variables and their interaction terms [28]
  2. b The proportion of the population with the condition in question, that falls within this segment. For example row 1 Diabetes: of the 174,134 socially excluded adults 24,030 or 13.8% reported diabetes. The socially excluded population segment thus accounted for 20.2% of all 118,965 diabetes cases (24,030/118,965)
