Note. Standardized beta coefficients from linear regression analyses controlling for age, age squared, sex, ethnicity, and education. See Supplemental Table 2 for t-value for each coefficient. For life satisfaction, n=7,554 (df=7546) at baseline and n=5,507 (df=5499) at follow-up. For loneliness, n=7,547 (df=7539) at baseline and n=5,512 (df=5509) at follow-up.
