  1. Results are given as crude and adjusted betas (95% confidence intervals) calculated by linear regression analysis. There is a difference in sample size between crude and adjusted analyses due to missings in the adjustment variables. In addition, parent-reports were available from age 3–17 years, while self-reports were only obtained in 11–17 year-old adolescents
  2. a Adjusted for age, sex, siblings, socio-economic status, migrant background, residence (rural/small town/town/city), East/West Germany, presence of chronic medical condition, type of day care, and official disability
