Associations between social mobility of socioeconomic status leukocyte telomere length without (model 1) and with (model 2) additional adjustment for mediator variables, estimated from multivariable regression models (n=361): the GENE-FORECAST study

	Model1		Model 2
Mother’s educational level/participant’s educational level	β (95% CI)	P value	β (95% CI)	P value
Low/low (stable low SES)	Reference		Reference
High/low (declining SES)	0.016 (−0.081, 0.122)	0.624	0.006 (−0.081, 0.122)	0.738
Low/high (increasing SES)	0.039 (−0.057, 0.135)	0.427	0.033 (−0.081, 0.122)	0.288
High/high (stable high SES)	0.127 (0.029, 0.225)	0.008	0.121 (0.027, 0.241)	0.011

Values are multivariable-adjusted regression (β) coefficients (95% CIs)

Model 1 adjusted for age, marital status, sex, BMI, and presence of hypertension and diabetes

Model 2 adjusted for the covariates of model 1 plus the specified mediator variables (education level, physical activity, dietary habit, smoking status, depression score, and PSS)
