![Fig. 7 Association between children's longevity and mid-parent longevity by sex and cohort (1700–1900). Estimates, reported as odds ratios, are estimated through binomial logistic regression of children's longevity on parents’ longevity for separate samples based on 20-year intervals around each reference year [1700 (1690–1710), 1701 (1691–1711), . . . , 1900 (1890–1910)]. Controls include sex; the child's, father's, and mother's birth year; the child's birth state, birth order, and number of siblings; dummy variables indicating the imprecise age at death for the child, mother, and father; and a dummy variable indicating second-generation migrant.
