All models were adjusted for socio-economic position and sex. In bold are significant findings (P < 0.05). In italics and in bold italics, the change in time of the anxiety/depression score differs (P < 0.05) by the value of the family variable, and thus the difference in anxiety score by family functioning or by parenting stress is not the same at age 10–12 years and age 10–14 years

P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01; *** P < 0.001
