p-values (for model coefficients only):

**

p < .01,

*

p < .05,

+

p < .1. N refers to individuals. All variables have been converted to z-scores with mean zero and a variance of one using cohort-specific estimates of both mean and variance of each variable. The subscripts x, y indicate the variables as: x = schooling; y = self-reported health.
