  • Overall sample Adj R2=0.06, p<0.001; subgroup Adj R2=0.11, p<0.001.

  • NB. Ethnicity is a categorical variable, coded as Non-white=0, White=1 and SES is an ordinal variable, coded as Low=0, Mid=1 and High=2.

  • *Sample sizes are smaller due to missing data.

  • †Standardised.

  • SE, standard error; SES, socio-economic status.
