aGeneralised ordinal logistic regression analyses adjusted for age at baseline, sex, education, marriage/cohabiting status in earlier life survey, study site, follow-up time, and signs of depression (depressive symptoms and/or use of antidepressants) in earlier life survey

bGeneralised ordinal logistic regression analyses adjusted for age at baseline, sex, education, marriage/cohabiting status at baseline, study site, and use of antidepressants. Two different coefficients refer to that there are nonparallel associations between predictor variable and separate ordinal outcome categories
