  • The associations in relation to cognitive social capital and structural social capital were examined separately. Model 1 was adjusted for age and sex. Model 2 was further adjusted for education, marital status, employment and household income. Model 3 included the same variables as in Model 2 and also included current smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, body mass index and self-reported history of a serious disease (ie, cancer and/or diseases of the circulatory system).
