a Standardized regression coefficient

b Having worries and anxiety about present or future income and assets = 1, everything else = 0.

c Because a non-linear association with BHQ was shown, we used this variable as a categorical variable (Epicureanism/asceticism/don’t know).

The reference group was “don’t know.”
