  1. a RR resulting from the four available models in table six of "AFSSAPS report"[21]. RR = Total of expected exposed cases (3922.15)/Total of expected non-exposed cases (3358.78) = 1.17
  2. Prevalence data restricted to population based samples: "ESPS-EPAS" and "3C" [21].
  3. b Interpolation between delivered results (1.5 and 2.0)
  4. c Prevalence in age group 60-69 was extrapolated to age group 70-79
