Model 1: without adjustment; Model 2: adjusted for age, sex and socioeconomic status (SES); Model 3: additionally adjusted for somatic conditions (CHD, atrial fibrillation, cancer, myocardial infarction, stroke, PAOD), any anxiety, and psychotropic medication; Model 4: additionally adjusted for cognitive-affective symptoms (dependent variable: somatic-affective symptoms), respectively for somatic-affective symptoms (dependent variable: cognitive-affective symptoms)

^aN ranges between 13.363 and 14.499 because of missing data
