^aResponse categories ‘excellent’, ‘very good’, and ‘good’ are merged into one ‘good’ category and ‘very poor’ and ‘poor’ are merged into one ‘poor’ category
^bResponse categories ‘very low’, ‘low’, and ‘neutral’ are merged into one ‘low’ category and ‘very high’ and ‘high’ are merged into one ‘high’ category. The values of p < 0.05 are highlighted in bold. Self-rated physical health, self-rated mental health, and self-rated financial distress were separately entered into the multivariate model. The model was adjusted for participants’ sex, age, educational level, and living situation (living alone/not alone)
