TABLE 3—
Prospective Analyses of Life Satisfaction and Happiness on Lagged Fruit and Vegetable Consumption: Household, Income, and Labour Dynamics in Australia Survey, 2007 (Period t) and 2009 (Period t+1)
Independent Variable | Life Satisfaction t+1 | Been a Happy Person t+1 |
Fruit and vegetable portions/d t, B (95% CI) | 0.03 (0.01, 0.04) | 0.02 (0.01, 0.03) |
Life satisfaction t, B (95% CI) | 0.49 (0.47, 0.50) | |
Been a happy person t, B (95% CI) | 0.45 (0.43, 0.47) | |
Log of household income t, B (95% CI) | 0.03 (0.00, 0.07) | 0.03 (0.00, 0.05) |
Constant | 3.98 (3.55, 4.41) | 2.36 (2.04, 2.68) |
Full set of other covariates | Yes | Yes |
Adjusted R2 | 0.31 | 0.26 |
No. of observations | 7742 | 7694 |
Note. CI = confidence interval. First dependent variable is life satisfaction (range = 0–10) in period t+1 (year 2009). Second dependent variable is “been a happy person” (range: 1–6) in period t+1 (year 2009). Period t denotes the year 2007. The full estimation results (with a complete set of control variable coefficient estimates) are available in Tables F and H, available as supplements to the online version of this article at http://www.ajph.org. The table’s title uses the term “prospective” for simplicity; it would be possible to object to this on strict semantic grounds; we obtained the data after the wave-2 information on year 2009 had been collected.
