 Demographics and SEP controls includedNYYY
 Health and health behaviour controls includedNNYY
  • Demographic and socioeconomic position controls: age, gender, cohabitation, ethnicity, region, employment status, highest educational qualification, income quartile (age standardised), subjective financial situation.

  • Health and health behaviour controls: smoking status, body mass index (categorised), long-standing illness or disability.

  • Regressions for housing characteristics run separately in models 1–3, but presented in a single column for ease of comparison and conciseness. All housing variables are included simultaneously in model 4.

  • n=9974.

  • *P<0.05; **P<0.01; ***P<0.005.
