Data were weighted to be representative of the adult population in the particular study period. Unadjusted model: OR and p not controlled for socio‐demographic differences between the studies. Adjusted model: aOR and p controlled for socio‐demographic differences (sex, age, education, living situation, employment status, urbanicity) between the studies. Significant ORs and aORs are highlighted in bold prints.
