Notes: CFI = comparative fit index; IADLs = instrumental activities of daily living; NCI = neighborhood cohesion; NDI = neighborhood disorder; NSES = neighborhood socioeconomic status; NSI = neighborhood segregation; RMSEA = root-mean-square error of approximation; SE = standard error; TLI = Tucker–Lewis index. Model estimate and standard error were reported. Model 3 included NSES and individual-level covariates. NDI, NCI, and NSI were estimated in separate Models 4–6 with individual-level variables.
