SF-12 Mental Health Component: A) Closer caregivers compared to less close caregivers; and B) Caregivers reporting loss in closeness compared to those reporting no change in closeness

Note: Lines represent change for prototypical levels (25^th and 75^th percentiles) of A) baseline closeness and B) change in closeness from predementia to baseline (postdementia) closeness. Loss in Closeness (25^th percentile) indicates care dyads decreased in closeness from predementia to postdementia; No Change in Closeness (75^th percentile) indicates that there was no reported change in closeness scores from predementia to postdementia
