Values are exponentiated coefficients from linear models of log-transformed outcomes. Values can be interpreted as percentage differences, for example 1.07 represents a 7% increase in the outcome associated with retirement, conditional on adjustment variables (self-reported health, partnership status, and 9 chronic conditions: asthma, emphysema, arthritis flare up, high cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes, kidney disease, cancer, cardiovascular disease). Data are presented graphically in Appendix Figure 2.
Exponentiated mean difference in log-transformed outcome associated with retirement, conditional on adjustment variables.
Exponentiated mean difference in log-transformed outcome associated with 5-year increase in age among retired and not retired participants, conditional on adjustment variables.
MVPA, moderate to vigorous physical activity; SEP, socioeconomic position
