Percentages of ego-alter relationships that have formed or decayed from a close bond among non-peers in three different age cohorts. Total number of pairs from each group are given in a corresponding Supplementary Table II. The error bars are displayed with 95% confidence level and the p values from two proportions z-test are shown in the top of each panel to illustrate how significantly different the formation and the decay percentages are using the same scheme as mentioned in Fig. 2. Here, we find that the percentages of formation are comparatively higher than percentages of decay for adult and middle-aged cohorts. Particularly, the FF group has a higher percentage of formation than decay in all age groups. The corresponding percentage values for this graph is shown in Supplementary Table IV.
