Model fit of three specifications of the slope in latent growth model of grip strength for men and women.
Note: Figure shows the predictions of three specifications compared to the observed trajectory of grip strength estimated by locally weighted scatterplot smoothing (LOESS).

Model fit (BIC) of three specifications of the slope for the latent growth model of grip strength.
Fig 2.
Model implied predictions of developments of grip strength by OP trajectory for men and women.
Note: Trajectory (101) was not plotted, because the number of observations was too small to yield reliable predictions. Trajectories are described by 1 for exposure to low OP, and 0 for no exposure. The first digit indicates the status for childhood, the second for early adulthood and the third digit represents midlife. For example, 000 means always is high OP, 111 always in low OP, 001 represents downward social mobility in adulthood.
