*

Parental education was used as a continuous term in the models, hence only one interaction term. The odds ratios in the far right column are an illustration of the odds ratios at different levels of parental education.

**

In the analyses of married people individuals that got married in the control or hazard period were excluded (for these individuals we could not separate if the effect is due to marriage or pregnancy)

***

SA was used as a continuous term in the models, hence only one interaction term. The odds ratios in the far right column are an illustration of the odds ratios at different levels of school achievement (−2, −1, 0, 1, 2).
