Fig 2. The multiple mediator model examining the relation between socioeconomic conditions at age 16 (SC16) and functional somatic symptoms at age 42 (FSS42), via occupational class (OC21 and OC30), material adversity (MA21 and MA30) and social adversity (SA21 and SA30) at age 21 and 30.

Paths are estimated direct effects between the variables, while controlling for sex and the baseline functional somatic symptoms for the respondents at age 16 (FSS16) (n = 987).
