Non-biological parent-child pairs were excluded from these analyses (n=13).

*Covariates in adjusted linear regression models include parent and child age, disadvantage index and parent and child sex in models including both sexes.

CC, estimated Pearson’s correlation coefficient; N, number of biological child-parent pairs with this measure; RC, estimated regression coefficient.
