Replication of physical capability and age acceleration in ALSPAC mothers with mean age 46.9
Variable | Model* | Regression coefficient (difference per year AA) | 95% CI | p Value |
Grip strength (kg) | Unadjusted | −0.021 | −0.12 to 0.078 | 0.68 |
Adjusted for height, BMI | −0.044 | −0.14 to 0.052 | 0.37 | |
Adjusted for height, BMI, SEP | −0.034 | −0.13 to 0.065 | 0.50 | |
Chair rise speed (stands/min) | Unadjusted | 0.0004 | −0.0004 to 0.001 | 0.31 |
Adjusted for height, BMI | 0.0005 | −0.0003 to 0.001 | 0.22 | |
Adjusted for height, BMI, SEP | 0.0004 | −0.0004 to 0.001 | 0.31 | |
Balance time, eyes closed (log-seconds) | Unadjusted | 0.067 | −0.058 to 0.19 | 0.30 |
Adjusted for height, BMI | 0.083 | −0.045 to 0.21 | 0.20 | |
Adjusted for height, BMI, SEP | 0.088 | −0.042 to 0.22 | 0.18 |
AA, age acceleration; ALSPAC, Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children; BMI, body mass index; SEP, socioeconomic position.
*For each of the four physical capability measures, we ran three models, first unadjusted, then adjusted for height and BMI, then adjusted for height, BMI, smoking and education.
