  1. Bolded results are significant at the 0.05 level.
  2. Model 1: adjusted for age, gender, race; Model 2: adjusted for age, gender, race, bmi.
  3. 1‘Lowest’ and ‘Low’ summary scores collapsed into ‘low’ category.
  4. 2Referent category defined as ‘high’ current SES and ‘high’ childhood SES, meaning: education strictly greater than high school, homeownership, occupation other than “professional” or “managerial and related”, maternal education greater than or equal to high school, paternal occupation qualified as “professional”, “managerial and related” or “sales and office”, and parental homeownership.
  5. 3 Parameters are odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).
