Notes. Unit of observation is respondent-year. 2004 population weight was applied for all analyses. Significance levels are +p < .1; *p < .05; **p < .01; ***p < .001. Robust standard errors were obtained and used to assess significant levels. Base outcome is the category of “no change in proximity or further proximity.” ADL = activities of daily living; CHF = congestive heart failure; CV = cardiovascular; MI = myocardial infarction.
