Probability of Disability Group Membership Conditional on Positive Exchange Group Membership.

Disability Group
Positive Exchange Group Absent Low Remitter Increaser
Chronically low .36** .50*** .14*
Moderate increaser .39*** .56*** .04
Chronically high .45*** .43** .13*

Notes: Individual trajectories for disability and positive exchanges were adjusted for the following covariates: gender (0 = male, 1 = female), age, ethnicity (0 = ethnic minority, 1 = White), marital status (0 = unmarried, 1 = married), education level (0 = high school/vocational school or less, 1 = at least some college), total number of 12 possible health conditions (e.g., arthritis or rheumatism, hypertension, diabetes), weight, and level of engagement in light or moderate physical activities (e.g., walking, light gardening) (0 = never, 6 = daily).

*p <.05; **p <.01; ***p <.001.
