  • These four models were estimated by generalised estimating equations using an exchangeable correlation matrix with robust SEs.

  • Model 1: examine the association between family social capital and youth self-rated health adjusting for body mass index, self-perceived socioeconomic status, psychological distress and physical activity.

  • Model 2: examine the association between neighbourhood social capital and youth self-rated health adjusting for body mass index, self-perceived socioeconomic status, psychological distress and physical activity.

  • Model 3: examine the association between school social capital and youth self-rated health adjusting for body mass index, self-perceived socioeconomic status, psychological distress and physical activity.

  • Model 4: examine the association between all social capital variables and youth self-rated health adjusting for body mass index, self-perceived socioeconomic status, psychological distress and physical activity.
