Values are standardized to the age distribution of the study population. Values do not add to 100%, due to missing values. Fewer than 2% were missing any given variable, with the exception of maternal (11.5% missing) and paternal education (12.7% missing).
Value is not age adjusted
Mean years of education at the time of the participant’s birth, reported in 2005
Mean somatogram score at age 5 years; range is 0–9
Lifetime depression reported in 2001
