  • Note: all models adjust for age and age-squared, race/ethnicity, educational attainment, physical activity, had any coronavirus-related symptoms, partner’s employment status and region. Change in financial situation, change in loneliness and change in feeling depressed are standardised. Bold font indicates two-tailed tests are significant at the 95% level.

  • OLS, ordinary least squares.
