Table 4.

Within-pair contrasts for monozygotic and dizygotic twin pairs discordant for early risky behaviors.

N (in pairs) Model 11 Model 22 Model 33

Early Nicotine Experimentation 439 1.51 (1.09– 2.10)* 1.53 (1.102.15)* 1.38 (0.97– 1.95)
Early Regular Nicotine Use 202 1.31 (0.78– 2.18) 1.32 (0.77– 2.25) 1.16 (0.67– 2.02)

Any Early Substance Experimentation 454 1.59 (1.142.22)* 1.62 (1.152.28)* 1.62 (1.152.28)*
Early Sex 193 1.17 (0.71– 1.92) 1.16 (0.70– 1.91) 0.94 (0.55– 1.61)

Note. In all comparisons, the non-early using cotwin is the referent group. 95% confidence intervals are presented in parentheses. Statistically significant effects that survive Bonferroni correction (p<.013) are bolded.

*

Significant before Bonferroni correction (p<.05).

1

Unadjusted model.

2

Adjusted for age, BMI, and early menarche.

3

Adjusted for age, BMI, early menarche, and other early risky behaviors (three out of four early alcohol experimentation, early nicotine experimentation, early cannabis experimentation, early sex- excluding the early risky behavior that was used as the exposure variable).
