  1. Additional covariates are birth order, birth intervals (years), age of mom at birth. Religion, socio-economic status, twin birth have been stratified. When the p-value was lower than 1.00e−15 we indicated the p-value as <1.00e−15. BIC Bayesian Information Criterion, Famid family identifier, CI confidence interval, LL long lived. p-Values are estimated with Cox regression
