Table 2. Correlations Between Early-Life and Antecedent Variables Measured at Age 73 and Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) Score at Age 76 in LBC1936 and Between BRS Score at Age 76 and Key Ageing Domain Variables Measured at Ages 76 and 79.

Antecedent variables	r (age 73)	r (age 76)	r (age 79)
Note. Coding for binary variables was as follows: male = 0, female = 1. WEMWBS = Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale; SWLS = Satisfaction with Life Scale; HADS = Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale; IPIP = International Personality Item Pool.
a Sociodemographics were retrospectively reported at LBC1936 Wave 1 (mean age 70 years), as described in Method. b Social class (occupational) was categorised from 1 (professional) to 5 (unskilled) labour. c Education was number years in formal full-time education. d Grip strength was reported as best of three attempts from right hand (kg). e Lung function was forced expiratory volume in 1 s. f Walk speed was time to walk 6 m in seconds.
