11. Unlike the 2003 and 2008/2009 surveys, the 1998 survey did not include children aged 0-1. However, the overall proportions of children in good or very good health were the same for children aged 2-15 and all those aged 0-15. Therefore a separate category just for the 2-15 age group was not needed to enable comparisons over time.

16. To assess this, additional analysis was conducted using a version of the long-term conditions measure that separates out physical health conditions from mental/behaviour disorders. This analysis confirmed that the association between SDQ scores and long-term conditions was much more pronounced for mental/behavioural disorders than physical conditions alone (data not shown).
