Notes: Other controls included in all models: sex, proxy, post-1996, proxy*post-1996, don't know if proxy, don't know if proxy*post-1996.
A dummy variable that takes the value one if education is missing is also included in the models when education is examined.
∼“Trend” is a linear term that takes the value 0 in the base year and increments by 1 for each subsequent calendar year.
**and *indicate statistical significance of the effect within a model of a given variable on the odds of having disability at the .01 and .05 levels, respectively.
