  1. OR indicates the odds ratio compared to the reference group, CI indicates 95 % confidence interval, Pseudo R2 squared for logistic regression, N absolute frequency of participating persons. Variations in N result from missing in single items. All data on utilisation of health care services refer to the past 12 months. aSSS: Subjective social status in Germany on a scale from 1 to 10. Lower: 1–4 points. Middle: 5–6 points. High: 7–10 points. b“How is your health in general?” “Bad” = fair/bad/very bad. “Good” = good/very good. cOther languages: Arabic, French, Persian, Russian, Serbian. Bold figures: Reflect ORs which are smaller/larger than 1 with a confidence level of 95 %
