  1. Odds ratio of smoking and alcohol consumption among females are blank because of the insufficient number of observations in a given cell
  2. aOdds ratio for age, ethnicity, family type, educational status of father and educational status of mother were adjusted for socio-demographic variables. Odds ratio for type of school, grade of study, subject of study and time of study were adjusted for socio-demographic and academic factors. Odds ratio for mode of transport, extracurricular activities at school, playground at campus, playground or park around home, adequate space to play or walk around home, family support and peer support were adjusted for socio-demographic, academic and environmental factors. Socio-demographic, academic and environmental factors were adjusted for each of the life-style related factor
