Note. All models adjusted for site location, age, sex, and education. Physical performance test is the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) test which consists of balance, chair stand, and gait speed tests. Higher scores indicate better physical performance. Total score is sum of balance, chair stand, and gait speed score.

None = not having experienced any childhood and older adulthood economic adversity, improved = having experienced any childhood economicadversity and not having experienced older adulthood economic adversity, worsened = not having experienced any childhood economic adversity and having experienced any older adulthood economic adversity, severe = having experienced both any childhood economic adversity and older adulthood economic adversity.
