*p values marked by an asterisk remained significant after correction for false discovery rate (FDR) using the Benjamini–Hochberg procedure. All models account for the non-independence of twin observations. The sample sizes vary slightly according to the mental health outcome and due to small numbers of participants missing some data on covariates
