Note: CASI = Cognitive Abilities Screening Instrument; CI = confidence interval; Est. = estimate.
The group that spoke but did not read Japanese served as the reference group for each model. CASI scores were item response theory based for Models 4 and 5. Age effects are for 10 years, centered at age 70. See explanatory note to Table 2.
