Beta coefficients are interpreted as a mean difference in length of reproductive lifespan in years per SD increase in psychosocial adversity.

Model 1: unadjusted.

Model 2: adjusted for age at recruitment and ethnicity.

Model 3: adjusted for age at recruitment, educational qualifications and ethnicity.
