Furthermore, χ2 based measures of association are not directly comparable between analyses, nor interpretable in a probabilistic sense [e.g. [ 57- 60]].
Other studies have reported the association between clinically based measures of lung function with arriving on 9/11/2001 among rescue workers up to 6 years after 9/11/2001 (Aldrich et al. 2010; Wisnivesky et al. 2011) and between dust or odor present more than 3 months with lower respiratory symptoms 2 years after 9/11/2001 among residents in lower Manhattan (Lin et al. 2010; Reibman et al. 2005).

Other methods are based on measures of association (index of dissimilarity, slope index of inequality) [ 26].
Programs calculate the degree of association between terms based on measures of association, which, in our study, refers to the value of Mutual Information MII).
However, such proposals are based on measures of association that neglect individual heterogeneity around group averages and thereby the discriminatory accuracy (DA) of the categories used (i.e. their ability to discriminate the individuals with poor and good SRH, respectively).
Compared to asset based measures, education and financial measures, the association of suicide/attempted suicide with occupation and income were inconsistent in the reasonable/high quality studies.

The SEP risk factors with the most consistent association across studies were asset based measures (particularly composite scores); education; measures of financial difficulty; and subjective measures of financial circumstances.
