rphl, Phenotypic correlations between the latent factors; rAl, genetic correlations between the latent factors; rEl, non-shared environmental correlations between the latent factors; rphs, phenotypic correlations between the time-specific influences; rAs, genetic correlations between the time-specific influences; rEs, non-shared environmental correlations between the time-specific influences.

95% confidence intervals (CIs) are presented in parentheses. CIs not inclusive of zeros indicate significant correlations. Non-overlapping CIs mean significant difference between the values.

AE models are presented, as C influences were not significant and were dropped from the multivariate models without a significant deterioration of the fit (Supplementary Table S2). The AIC values suggest that dropping C lead to improvement of the model fit at these three waves. Full ACE results are presented in Supplementary Tables S3–S5 for completeness.
