Proportions of slow, average, and fast Pace of Aging Study members classified as high risk on 0, 1, or 2 or more family and childhood characteristics based on contemporaneous assessments conducted in adulthood. Risk factors were having short‐lived grandparents (no grandparent survived past age 80 years), retrospective report by the Study member that their parents held low‐status occupations during the Study member's childhood, retrospective report of exposure to four or more adverse childhood experiences, not holding any educational credential, and being rated by an examining nurse as having low levels of the personality trait conscientiousness. Panel A graphs results for the full cohort. The pattern is the same as when risk was classified from assessments during childhood. Most slow‐aging Study members were not classified as high risk on any family or childhood characteristic. In contrast, more than 40% of the fast‐aging Study members were classified as high risk on multiple family and childhood characteristics. Panels B and C repeat the analysis for subsamples of cohort members with recent contacts with the healthcare system and who may reflect the population most accessible to recruitment into clinical trials. Panel B graphs results for Study members with a recent prescription fill. Panel C graphs results for Study members with a recent hospital admission (excluding for pregnancy‐related services).
