Notes: H-EPESE = Hispanic Established Populations for the Epidemiologic Study of the Elderly.
Shown are hazard ratios with 95% confidence intervals.
p < .05,
p < .01,
p < .001.
The reference group for low and moderate social support is high social support.
CES-D = Center for Epidemiologic-Depression Scale.
MMSE = Mini-Mental State Exam.
POMA = Performance Oriented Mobility Assessment.
