  1. Statistically significant estimates (95% CI) in bold type
  2. Model 1: Adjusted for G2 gender, birth year, sibship size and sibling order, mother’s harvest exposure in SGP, social class, income and education, and any parental death before age 18
  3. Model 2: + linear trends for grandparents birth years, with confidence limits based on sibling cluster robust standard errors
