  1. CIs confidence intervals, ORs odds ratios, Ref reference
  2. aORs and CIs were adjusted for age, BMI and physical activity (as continuous variables for the three variables), smoking status (never, ex- and smokers = 0, 1 and 2), habitual drinking (never, ex- and drinkers = 0, 1 and 2), feeling stressed (many times, normal and rare = − 1, 0 and 1) and education level (< 12, 12 and ≥ 12 = 0, 1 and 2)
  3. bTrend association was assessed by assigning ordinal numbers (− 1, 0 and 1) to unmarried, married and ‘bereavement/divorce’ for marital status, those (0, 1, 2 and 3) to single, couple, two generations and three generations for family structure, those (0, 1 and 2) to the following four variables: good, somewhat good and ‘not so good/not good’ for family relationships, and for 0, 1 or 2 times of pregnancies, childbirth and miscarriages, respectively
