Note: Estimate represents estimated beta coefficients were based on multiple variable 3-level mixed-effects linear or logistic regression with age as an adjusting covariate; the estimated beta coefficients represent the increase in behavior scores per unit score increase in knowledge. OR= odds-ratio.
