Notes. Correlations above the diagonal refer to T1 (N = 3586), those below the diagonal refer to T2 (N = 3115). Correlations with r ≥ .04 are significant at the p < .05 level. Correlations with r ≥ .06 are significant at the p < .01 level.
Health composite based on standardized variables separately for each measurement occasion. Descriptives for individual constructs included in health composites are at T1: M (SD) = 8.82 (6.64) for acute health problems, M (SD) = 2.12 (2.13) for chronic health problems, and M (SD) = 2.12 (2.53) for functional limitations. At T2, the descriptives were M (SD) = 12.54 (7.46) for acute health problems, M (SD) = 2.32 (2.29) for chronic health problems, and M (SD) = 3.10 (2.97) for functional limitations.
