Table 4.

Logistic Regression Coefficients Estimating the Conditional Effects on the Likelihood of the Spouse Being the sole IADL Caregiver for Variables Moderated by Gender of the Care Recipient (N = 452)

Gender
CR husbandsa CR wivesb
Variable b p b p
CR no. of IADLs .144 .489 −.662 .003
CR no. of health conditions −.100 .552 .314 .098
Couple’s no. of daughters .004 .987 −.730 .009
Spouse’s age – CR’s age −.112 .003 .070 .036

Note. CR = care recipient. Entries for b are unstandardized regression coefficients. All variables were centered at the total sample mean. IADL = Instrumental Activities of Daily Living.

a

Coefficients estimate the slope of the relationship between the likelihood of solo spouse caregiving and each listed variable among couples with a husband CR; data duplicate those shown in Model 2 of Table 3 where gender was coded as husband CR = 0; wife CR = 1.

b

Coefficients estimate the slope of the relationship between the likelihood of solo spouse caregiving and each listed variable among couples with a wife CR; data obtained by refitting Model 2 of Table 3 with gender recoded as wife CR = 0, husband CR = 1.
