a

Models include years since baseline exam, age, gender, race/ethnicity, marital status, income, education and employment status, and significant interactions between time-invariant predictors and time.

b

Ratios for continuous neighborhood predictors correspond to a 1 SD change in neighborhood measure.

c

Model includes neighborhood level SES.

d

Estimate corresponds to the within-person deviation term (mean term not included in table).

Bolded values are significant at p<0.05
