Estimated marginal means and standard error with continuous predictors fixed at BMI = 27.51, physical activity = 4 and qualification = 0. Total n(included) = 289,091. (c) Number of correct answers per attempted questions in the “Fluid intelligence test” measuring reasoning abilities. Estimated marginal means and standard error with continuous predictors fixed at alcohol = 3, sleep duration = 7, physical activity = 4 and qualification = 0.
