Effect sizes for associations of the Biological Age and the Pace of Aging with the 10 validation metrics analyzed in our original article (2). The lighter bars graph the original effect sizes we reported in our article (2). The darker bars graph effect sizes after adding a statistical control for weight gain (change in BMI from ages 26–38 y). All effect sizes are statistically significant at P < 0.05, except for the association between Pace of Aging and arterioles (P = 0.050).
