Summary of SES by age group interactions on brain system segregation and mean cortical thickness: controlling for multiple sets of covariates (left), controlling for covariates and childhood SES in a subsample of participants who had childhood-SES information available (right). Head motion refers to estimated measures of participants’ in-scanner head motion (mean FD); demographic variables include sex and race; physical health variables include BMI, SF-36 PCS, hypertension, smoker status, alcohol consumption, and chronic health issues; mental health variables include depressive symptoms and life satisfaction; fluid intelligence and episodic memory are factor scores generated from multiple tasks (see SI Appendix, Supplemental Methods). Asterisks denote statistical significance, *P < 0.05; crosses denote marginal effects, +P < 0.10; NS, not significant.
