Notes: National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project (2005/2006). Shown are unstandardized coefficients with standardized coefficients in parentheses. Model 1 is unadjusted. Models 2–4 adjust for age, gender, race and ethnicity, education, employment status, relative income, marital status, and number of children/grandchildren. N = 2,165. *p < .05, **p < .01, ***p < .001 (two-tailed tests).
