From: The association between a lifestyle score, socioeconomic status, and COVID-19 outcomes within the UK Biobank cohort

Measure of additive interaction

Estimates (95% confidence intervals)

COVID-19 mortality

Severe COVID-19

RERI

0.92 (0.57–1.27)

0.53 (0.29–0.78)

Attributable portion

0.36 (0.23–0.49)

0.22 (0.12–0.31)

Synergy index

2.45 (1.42–4.25)

1.58 (1.22–2.04)

  1. RERI, relative excess risk due to interaction. Where RERI and attributable portion = 0 and synergy index = 1, there is no evidence of additive interaction
