Results from logistic regression models exploring the link between self-rated health and well-being variables and the duration of respondents’ meal preparation activities, in 10s of minutes. The dependent variable self-rated stress is 1 with higher levels of stress and 0 for lower levels. The dependent variables self-rated mental health and self-rated health are 1 with better health and 0 with lower levels.
