*The whole table is a single model with neither anxiety nor depression as the reference group. Other relevant potential confounders (see Methods), were also tested but not included in the final model because they were not independently related to the outcome, nor modified estimates for the remaining variables.

According to International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO); I-III: high socioeconomic status.
