Abbreviations: B, regression coefficient; SLEs, stressful life events.

Linear regression of early-life stress and multivariate regression analyses of SLEs in two age categories on NR3C1 methylation scores. Bold numbers indicate significant results (P<0.05).

a

No exposure is the reference category.

b

Z-scores.
