Note: LDA Model 1 (Random effect model with simple adjustment): Y ~ ui + time + women + age + time × women. LDA Model 2 (Fully adjusted random effect model): Y ~ ui + time + women + age + time × women + education + race + comorbidity + BMI + ADL + 3MS. (Sex: women = 1, and men = 0, time × women are interaction terms). p-values came from t-test of LDA regression coefficients. Bold p-values indicate significance if rounded to two decimal places (≤0.05).
