  2. The predictor variables are target area deprivation and deprivation differential (derived from the Index of Multiple Deprivation 2007). The outcome variables are the log transformed percentages of the population declaring ‘not good’ health and the log transformed percentages of the population declaring LLTI (both from the 2001 UK census) for 32482 small areas across the whole of England. Two bivariate regression models regressed the target area deprivation and then the deprivation differential separately for each outcome variable. The multivariable regression model used two predictor variables together to predict each outcome variable.
