Baseline model adjusted for age, sex, race, and education.
Final model adjusted for age, sex, race, education, major chronic conditions, functional status, smoking, physical activity, depressive symptoms, and anxious symptoms.
Notes: Line breaks indicate a new model. Spouse analyses were conducted among only those participants who were married or partnered at both times points (n = 660).
