Data collected in Great Britain in 2016.
OR = Odds Ratio, CI = confidence interval
Note: since most variables are continuous the OR represents the change in odds of being in the group for each point on the scale (predominantly from 1 to 5). B indicates that the variable was binary and the OR represents the odds of being in this group.
