Notes: ACE = angiotensin-converting enzyme; CI = confidence interval; df = degrees of freedom; HE, health education; HR = hazard ratio; MMD = major mobility disability; PA = physical activity.

*Hazards for disability outcomes stratified by sex and clinical site.

Includes adjustment for baseline covariates including Short Physical Performance Battery score and a composite index of comorbid conditions reported previously (13,22).
