Data source: SHARE waves 1, 2, and 4; all cells contain odds ratios reported from logit regression models. Robust standard errors are in parentheses. Basic models control for sex, age and country. The complete model in addition controls for education, family status, number of children, BMI, ADL, depression, smoking and chronic diseases. ***p< = 0.01; **p< = 0.05; *p< = 0.1.
