Abbreviations: B, regression coefficient; CpG, cytosine–guanine dinucleotide; SLE, 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).
No exposure is the reference category.
