Notes: All predictors in Models 1–4 were measured at the dyadic level, reported by either care recipients or spousal caregivers. Caregivers reported caregiving burden, care support, and relationship quality. Dementia diagnosis was based on the care recipients only; care recipients reported neighborhood cohesion. AIC = Akaike information criterion; BIC = Bayesian information criterion; EST = estimate; SE = standard error.
