Note: The longitudinal AE model here refers to the identically-named model in Table 5(a). Bold indicates p ≤.05. Est. = model estimate, SE = standard error. Fixed effects parameters included gender, mode of testing, birth year, dying in 2 years, female * die in 2 years, age, age2, age3, and birth year * age.
