  1. *Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) from logistic regression analyses. The full models are presented. All variables were entered simultaneously to analyze the independent association of each variable with self-sufficiency. Note: bold numbers indicate a statistically significant (p<0.05) association
  2. a Intermediate vocational education consists of four levels: 1=assistant training; 2=basic vocational training; 3=vocational training; 4=middle-management training
  3. b Binge drinking was defined as consuming five or more alcoholic drinks on one occasion
