Note. OR: odds ratio. 95% CI: 95% confidence interval. Total N = 1269. Results based on 40 multiply imputed data sets. Reference categories are indicated with dashes. All models included both receptive and participatory arts exposures and were adjusted for healthy aging status in 2014. Adjusted models were additionally adjusted for age, gender, race/ethnicity, education, marital status, employment status, household income, and neighborhood safety. Bold text indicates p < .05.
