Note. OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; SES = socioeconomic status (adult SES factors adjusted for adult social class, adult housing status, car ownership, and pension arrangements); HOMA = homeostasis model assessment (of insulin resistance); FEV1 = forced expiratory volume in 1 second.

aHigh-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, waist to hip ratio, body mass index (all continuous variables), HOMA score-type 2 diabetes categories (first 5 categories quintiles of HOMA score, sixth category type 2 diabetes).

bSmoking status (never, ex, or current at 1 of 4 levels: 1–9, 10–19, 20–29, or ≥ 30 cigarettes per day) and physical activity (none, < 1, 1–2, ≥ 2 hours per week of moderate or vigorous physical activity).

cLeg length, FEV1 (continuous variables).

dCurrently feel moderately or extremely anxious and/or depressed, ever been diagnosed by a doctor with depression, currently uses anxiolytics, hypnotics, or antidepressants (all binary).

eAll variables included in models a–d.
