I received a comment that I treat transitions from unemployment to employment on weight similarly to transitions from employment to unemployment on weight.
But, I only ever report the coefficient on parentsunemployed (0.06) and it's my understanding that due to how I set up my binary predictor and outcome I'm only ever considering the effect of a change from employment to unemployment on a change from not overweight to overweight.
So, why were changes from unemployment to employment even mentioned? Is it possible that I am considering this and don't even know it? And how?!
I could really do with some advice!
All the best,
John
