Values are meta-analytic estimates for regression coefficients that indicate the slope of trajectories (difference in the outcome per 1 year) from piecewise linear or logistic regression models, adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, education, and marital status (maximum n = 37,721 person-observations of 6592 individuals)
p(int) = statisticial significance of the difference between before vs after
