Note: Estimates are weighted to adjust for probability of inclusion in the analysis and differential nonresponse. All models are survey adjusted. Labor force status, spouse’s overall health, self-reported health, functional health, number of confidants, proportion of kin, and frequency of contact with kin are included in these models but not shown because of space constraints. All but the last of these were not significant. R = respondent; ref. = reference.
