Notes: Model 1 is bivariate; Model 2 is adjusted for age, childhood SEP, and parity; Model 3 is adjusted for age, childhood SEP, parity, and for the other form of social mobility (e.g., models for educational mobility controlled for financial mobility from early childhood; models for financial mobility controlled for educational mobility). All social mobility measures are scaled so that a one-unit change corresponds with a one-SD change. Missing data were imputed using multiple imputation by chained equations. N=1,408.

B, Beta; RR, risk ratio; SEP, socioeconomic position
