a

Measures and cut points used for each marker in Table S1.

b

Results for inflammation are based on data at wave 1 only; results for the other three markers are based on data at waves 1 and 2 and longitudinal residual change models.

c

Adjusted for age, sex, and race.

d

Adjusted for the full set of covariates in Table S3 for each dataset.
