^†Positive coefficients β indicate decrease in health on the 5 point scale; in contrary negative coefficients indicate a better SRHS; Ref: reference category; ^a per unit of the 4 point scale from 1 = "totally sufficient" to 4 = "not sufficient at all"; ^b1 = "never" to 4 = "very often"; ^c1 = "less then once" to 3 = "at least 3 times"; ^d0 = "lowest possible well-being" to 25 = "highest possible well-being"; ^e1 = "low" to 5 = "high"; ^f1 = "very low" to 7 = "very high"; Significance of Wald test for the coefficient = 0: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001
