*FDR corrected p value < 0.05. Abbreviations: SE, standard error; CI, confidence interval. Robust standard errors in parentheses. Each column in the table shows separate propensity score matched models for workers aged 50–70. All specifications adjust for BMI in the previous wave, or BMI (t − 2), and for the conditioning variables used in the propensity score matching that are reported in Table 1 and defined in detail in Supplementary Table S1. Columns 1–3 do not include mPGS or vPGS in the matching procedure. Column 1 includes all workers, regardless of ancestral background or the availability of genotype data and includes additional controls for race and Hispanic ethnicity in the matching procedure. Column 2 reports results for all European ancestry workers, regardless of the availability of genotype data. Column 3 reports results for the European ancestry sample with genotype data prior to matching on the mPGS and vPGS. Columns 4–5 include the mPGS in the matching procedure, and Column 6 includes the mPGS and the vPGS in the matching procedure. Individuals in the control group can have multiple observations. In the analytic sample, unique N(control) = 3564; unique N(treated) = 375.
