  2. a Bridging social capital was measured with the question: ā€œHow many of your close friends have the same educational level as you have?ā€. Bridging social capital was coded as ā€˜1ā€‰=ā€‰bridgingā€™ for those who answered ā€˜about halfā€™, ā€˜someā€™, or ā€˜none of my friendsā€™, and ā€˜0ā€‰=ā€‰bondingā€™ for those who answered ā€˜allā€™ or ā€˜most of my friendsā€™
  3. b Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals regressing the outcomes on the ā€˜education x capitalā€™-variable and confounders (sex, age, employment status, country of birth, living with a partner, children in household, fatherā€™s education, motherā€™s education)
  4. c Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals regressing the outcomes on bridging social capital and confounders, stratified on educational level.- Measures on multiplicative scale regarding no recommended vegetable intake: OR for education medium * bridging capitalā€‰=ā€‰0.49 (95% CI 0.29ā€“0.83), PĀ =ā€‰0.008; OR for education low * bridging capital: = 0.48 (95% CI 0.28ā€“0.82), PĀ =ā€‰0.007.- Measures on multiplicative scale regarding no recommended fruit intake: OR for education medium* bridging capitalā€‰=ā€‰0.75 (95% CI 0.48ā€“1.19), PĀ =ā€‰0.220; OR for education low * bridging capital: = 0.75 (95% CI 0.48ā€“1.18), PĀ =ā€‰0.213.- Measures on multiplicative scale regarding no daily water intake: OR for education medium* bridging capitalā€‰=ā€‰0.55 (95% CI 0.34ā€“0.88), PĀ =ā€‰0.012; OR for education low * bridging capital: = 0.80 (95% CI 0.49ā€“1.30), PĀ =ā€‰0.368.- Measures on multiplicative scale regarding high meat intake: OR for education medium* bridging capitalā€‰=ā€‰0.64 (95% CI 0.42ā€“0.98), PĀ =ā€‰0.038; OR for education low * bridging capital: = 0.56 (95% CI 0.36ā€“0.86), PĀ =ā€‰0.007
