Note: Values are unstandardized coefficients (± standard errors). Gender reference category = female (vs. male), ethnicity reference category = not White (vs. White), education is highest level of qualification with reference category = less than degree level (vs. degree level or higher), household income is in £1000/year after tax, high risk condition reference category = no condition (vs. one or more high risk conditions), living alone reference category = not alone (vs. alone), psychiatric condition reference category = no condition (vs. previous diagnosis), COVID diagnosis reference category = no diagnosis (vs. formally diagnosed or suspected). For loneliness, depression, anxiety and stress higher scores indicate increased levels. There were no influential cases in the regression as defined by Cook's distance >1.0.
Abbreviation: BMI, body mass index.
