Note. Global cognitive function was measured by the transformed 3MS which has a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15 in the study sample. Coefficients represent the difference in estimated baseline 3MS associated with a one unit difference in the independent variable. Coefficients divided by their standard errors have a standard normal (z) distribution and were compared to the standard normal table to determine statistical significance (N = 639). Continuous independent variables were standardized based on the study sample, Male (male=1, female=0) and English Language (English=1, Spanish=0) were dichotomous indicator variables.
