Models are adjusted for demographic and study design factors of age, sex, city of recruitment, and European ancestry.

2

P-value for interaction comparing trends across countries.

3

Odds ratio per adjusted standard deviation, stratified by location (Australia/Leeds) and adjusted for age and sex, using the OPERA method (Hopper, 2015).
