See path A of mediation model, eFigure 3 in the Supplement.

b

Indicates separate univariable models for population density and deprivation.

c

Indicates bivariable model for population density and deprivation.

d

Population density and deprivation are adjusted for paternal age at birth, family income, maternal educational level, paternal educational level, any psychosis or bipolar disorder in parents, and parent(s) born outside Sweden.

e

Units are number of people per square kilometer, and unit change is per 1 SD (3863.97 people per square kilometer).

f

Units are based on the deprivation index, and unit change is per 1 SD (1.96 points).
