aSocial support factors were measured by instrumental and emotional support. Instrumental support: Do you have enough friends who can give you help and support when you need it? (yes, no); Emotional support: Do you have enough friends you can talk confidentially with? (yes, no).

bBehavioral factors were measured by two questions: Do you/did you smoke daily? [yes, now; yes, previously; never (ref)]; How many units of alcohol (a beer, a glass of wine or a drink) do you usually drink when you drink alcohol? (1–4, 5–6, 7–9, 10 or more).

SCL-10: Mental health status was measured by the Hopkins Symptoms Check List-10 (SCL-10).

EQ-5D: Health was assessed by the EQ-5D generic measure of health-related quality of life.

SWLS: Well-being was measured by the satisfaction with life scale (SWLS).
