See online supplemental table A2 for details of cut-off points for ‘High Malaise’ and ‘High Anxiety’. There were five stages to the modelling strategy: Model 1: OHC experience; Model 2: model 1+sex; model 3: model 2+birth characteristics (ethnicity, birth weight, mother’s education and family status); model 4: model 2+current circumstances (occupation class, highest qualification, employment status, living arrangements); model 5: model 3+4 (sex +birth characteristics+current circumstances).
