Note.

The effect of IQ on mental health, CES-depression, and sleep difficulty was analyzed using linear regression analysis, Beta = regression coefficient.

The effect of IQ on depression and emotional/nervous disorders was analyzed using logistic regression, Beta = odds ratio.

Sample size: mental health (3985), depression (3981), sleep difficulty (3992).

Observations (Yes): depression 4004(564), emotional/nervous disorder 4010 (330).

Model 4: IQ, Sex, Childhood age, Adult age, Childhood SES, Income.

Model 5: IQ, Sex, Childhood age, Adult age, Childhood SES, Education.

Model 6: IQ, Sex, Childhood age, Adult age, Childhood SES, Occupation status.
