The high SEP group was used as reference, solid lines represent the medium SEP group and dotted lines the low SEP group. Meta-analyses results for the total population (in orange) includes N = 13,078 for early life SEP and N = 23,008 for later in life SEP, respectively, N = 7798 and N = 12,809 for men (in blue) and N = 5280 and N = 10,199 for women (in green)
