Notes: aCIRS represents the additive genetic genetic path estimate to the additive genetic I-CIRS factor at age 75; acommon = the common pathway estimate of the additive genetic contributions of I-CIRS on depressive symptoms; aunique = the estimated variance unique to depressive symptoms at age 75; βaCIRSc = the estimate of the moderating effect of I-CIRS on the additive genetic covariance. βa40u = the estimate of the linear slope on the additive genetic variance unique to depressive symptoms for participants aged 40 to 75; βa75u = the estimate of the linear slope on the additive genetic variance unique to depressive symptoms for participants aged 75 to 90. βaCIRSu = the estimate of the moderating effect of I-CIRS on the additive genetic variance unique to depressive symptoms. The parameters denoted with an e represent corresponding parameter estimates for the non-shared environmental contributions.
