Odds ratio (OR) for marriage and life partnership;

Global P-value calculated withWald test;

Standardized on age, gender, migration background, and language region according to the CCS population;

Continuously measured in years;

Migration background was defined if a participant fulfilled one of the following criteria: not born in Switzerland, no Swiss citizenship from birth on, at least one parent with no Swiss citizenship;

Logistic multivariable model including CCS and respective comparison group, controlled for socio-demographic factors (age, gender, migration background, language region, educational level).
