Table 3. Least-squares mean leukocyte telomere length z-scores (standard errors), by high phobic anxiety.

	Crown-Crisp Index Phobic Anxiety Scores
	<6	≥6	P-value‡
N	4,644	599
Age-adjusted	0.02 (0.01)	−0.09 (0.04)	0.009
Multivariable-adjusted I*	0.02 (0.01)	−0.09 (0.04)	0.02
Multivariable-adjusted II†	0.02 (0.01)	−0.09 (0.04)	0.02

^*Adjusted for age in years (continuous), paternal age-at-birth (15–24, 25–29, 30–34, 35–39, ≥40 years), pack-years of smoking (0, 0< to <20, 20 to <40, 40+), physical activity (continuous, MET-hrs/wk), body mass index (continuous, kg/m²).

^†Adjusted for model I variables, plus chronic medical conditions/potential intermediates: hypertension (yes/no), dyslipidemia (yes/no), diabetes (yes/no), cardiovascular disease (yes/no).

^‡P-value for test of difference in least-squares means.
