Note. N=12,188. Coefficients are standardized beta coefficients from linear regression, controlling for age, sex, race, ethnicity, and education. PEF=Peak Expiratory Flow. Grip=grip strength.

Remains significant controlling for body mass index, smoking, and physical activity.

Remains significant when controlling for domain-level Conscientiousness.

n=6,562 because only participants 65 and older were asked to complete this task.
