SCL-10: Mental health status was measured by the Hopkins Symptoms Check List-10 (SCL-10); scale (0–1), where 0 represents perfect mental health, and 1 represents worst mental health. EQ-5D: Health was assessed by the EQ-5D generic measure of health-related quality of life; scale (0–1), where 0 represents perfect health, and 1 represents worst health.

SWLS: Well-being was measured by the satisfaction with life scale (SWLS); scale (0–1), where 0 represents highest well-being, and 1 represents lowest well-being.

All significant associations are in bold.
