Note: Unit of analysis is 2-year interval between interviews. Standard errors adjusted for intraperson correlation. Results are weighted. A dummy variable indicating missing data on number of functional limitations and four dummy variables indicating the beginning year of the 2-year intervals also included in the models but not shown in the table.

^a.

Logistic regression model with “continue no care” as comparison group.

^b.

Multinomial logistic regression model with “continue no care” as comparison group.

^c.

Logistic regression model with “stop care” as comparison group (type of care at the beginning of the interval is also included in the model, but not shown in the table).

^d.

Multinomial logistic regression model with “stop care” as comparison group (type of care at the beginning of the interval is also included in the model, but not shown in the table).

^e.

Reference categories are non-Hispanic White, no change in number of grandchildren, and working full-time.
