Note: Data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study (FFCWS), Waves 1 and 5 were used. The sample is limited to mothers with telomere length data at Wave 6. LBW stands for Low Birth Weight. All predictors were measured at baseline. The outcome, the natural logarithm of telomere length, was measured at Wave 5 of the study, which represents a 9-year follow-up period.
