Models:

1. age, sex, race, education and income

2. A + medical comorbidities, cognitive function and physical function

3. B + social network and social engagement

Note: Linear regression was used in these analyses of personality traits and self-neglect severity

df = Degrees of Freedom

^aParameter estimates refers to the change in slope of unit change in personality trait scores to the risk of self-neglect severity

^bStandard error refers to the variability of the parameter estimates stated above.
