Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The exposure is lifestyle health behaviours (i.e. diet quality, physical activity, sedentary behaviour, alcohol consumption, tobacco smoking, and recreational drug use). Lifestyle health behaviours were assessed when participants were 20-years of age and will be categorised using latent class analysis. Raine study participants completed all questionnaires at ages 20, 22, and 27. However, only lifestyle data at age 20 years will be used as an exposure in the current study and lifestyle data at age 22 and 27 years will NOT be used. Outcome variables (collected at ages 22 and 27 years) will be described in the outcome sections.

Measurement of exposures of interest:
For the purposes of the current study, diet quality was measured by converting Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) data into Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet scores. Physical activity was dichotomised according to whether participants met/didn't meet Australian guidelines. Sedentary behaviour was measured by the average amount of time spent sitting per day and separated into quartiles. Alcohol consumption was based on the average number of standard drinks consumed per day. Recreational drugs were also categorized by frequency of use and participants were classified as either smokers or non-smokers based on whether they currently use tobacco.

Each participant had a single observation at one time point for each exposure variable. Data are pre-existing from the Western Australian Pregnancy Cohort (Raine) Study, which has followed participants longitudinally since birth. The Raine Study commenced recruitment between 1989 and 1991 and is ongoing today. Data collection at age 20-years involved questionnaires and collection of anthropometric data. All data for the current study is sourced directly from the Raine Study (ACTRN12617001599369). Data is preexisting, therefore no additional involvement by participants was required for this study.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 328610 0
Depression symptoms: Depression symptoms were measured via the Depression Subscale of the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale - Short Form (DASS-21). Scores range from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicative of more severe symptoms.

Timepoint [1] 328610 0
Baseline (age 20 years), follow up 1 (age 22 years) and follow up 2 (age 27 years).
Primary outcome [2] 328611 0
Anxiety symptoms: Anxiety symptoms were measured via the Anxiety Subscale of the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale - Short Form (DASS-21). Scores range from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicative of more severe symptoms.
Timepoint [2] 328611 0
Baseline (age 20 years), follow up 1 (age 22 years) and follow up 2 (age 27 years).
Primary outcome [3] 328612 0
Stress symptoms: Stress symptoms were measured via the Stress Subscale of the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale - Short Form (DASS-21). Scores range from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicative of more severe symptoms.

Statistical methods / analysis
Participant characteristics will be examined by sex and latent class membership. Differences in participant characteristics between outcome variables will be examined using t-tests (continuous variables) and the chi-square test (categorical variables). Latent class analysis (LCA) will be performed to identify distinct patterns of lifestyle health behaviours amongst emerging adults at age 20-years, using poLCA package in R version 4.0.2.

To find the best model fit, we evaluated a wide range of LCA models following with classes ranging from 1 to 10. We further repeat each model to ensure models find global—rather than just a local—maximum of the log-likelihood function we re-estimate each model 20 times using different values of lass-conditional response probabilities. The model will lowest Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and with no class with less than 5% of participants in it will be selected as the model of choice.

After reaching the final LCA model, differences in sociodemographic and background characteristics across the classes will be examined using ANOVA and Chi-Square tests. Logistic and linear regression analyses will be performed to assess whether categorical membership to the identified dietary patterns at baseline (20-years) is predictive of categorical and/or continuous indicators of depression, anxiety and/or stress, respectively, at follow up.
