  • 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.
