Model 0: explanatory variable + year of birth

Model 1: level of education + control variables

Model 2: Model 1 + socioeconomic characteristics in early life

Model 3: Model 2 + occupational position

Model 4: Model 3 + income

Model 5: Model 4 + marital history

Method: logistic regression analysis. In all models, year of birth is included as a continuous variable, but the coefficient is not shown

SE: standard error

An asterisk indicates when the 95% confidence interval does not include 1
