a
Bootstrap estimates and 95% bias-corrected confidence interval for indirect effects of personality traits on subjective age through self-rated health, physical activity, depressive symptoms and chronic conditions, controlling for age, sex, education, and race (except for the WLSG and WLSS).
b
Direct effect (standard errors in parentheses) of personality traits on subjective age adjusted for mediators, age, sex, education, and race (except for the WLSG and WLSS); Coefficients are standardized regression coefficient
