Note: Population estimates for the age groups are rounded to the nearest 100,000. The columns present the percentages of the total population (column 1) and the respective clinical groups (columns 2, 3, and 4) for each variable. Proportions are related to the columns and not the rows; the columns for each variable (not the rows) add to 100%. For example, of those respondents in the Relatively Healthy Group, 55.7% are 51–64 years old, 30.7% are 65–75 years old, and 13.6% are 76 years and older. p Value from the χ2 test for the association between the indicated variable and belonging to the Clinical Groups.
Weighted percentages (and population estimates) were derived using Health and Retirement Study respondent population weights to adjust for differential probability of selection into the sample and differential nonresponse.
