*p<0.001.

†Model 1 included fixed effects terms for neighbourhood deprivation quintiles and the interaction with the binary transition explanatory variable for change in category of consumption, and random effects terms for household, LSOA and unitary authority.

Model 2 added social class, age group, gender, age group×gender, and adjusted for employment status, the highest educational qualification, ethnicity and housing tenure.

LSOA, lower super output areas; SES, socioeconomic status.
