Each row shows the result of a unique model in which those scoring in the lowest quintile of scores for 1 ERA-38 subscale was compared with those scoring in the highest quintile.
Each model was adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, level of education, physical-and mental health–related quality of life, depressive symptoms, general self-efficacy, ADL impairment, comorbidity, depressive symptoms, language of survey, and clustering at the level of the senior center.
ERA, expectations regarding aging; ADL, activities of daily living.
