Table 2.

Simple slopes for association between life stressors and telomere shortening over one year at −1 SD below the mean, at the mean, and +1SD above the mean for each health behavior independently.

	Physical Activity		Diet		Sleep Quality
	b (SE)	p	b (SE)	p	b (SE)	p
−1 SD	−48.1 (17.9)	.008	−46.5 (18.4)	.01	−46.2 (16.8)	.007
Mean	−31.5 (14.2)	.03	−33.5 (14.1)	.02	−31.7 (14.2)	.03
+1 SD	−14.9 (21.1)	.48	−20.5 (19.6)	.30	−17.2 (19.5)	.38

Note. Values indicate the unstandardized beta coefficient (b), standard errors (SE) and p values for the associations between life stressors and telomere shortening over the course of the year at varying levels of each behavior.
