Models (a) and (b) include (uninteracted) controls for education. ‘Moderate disability’ is defined as reporting four or more limitations (out of 22). Sample is core respondents aged between 55 and 84. Standard errors are shown in parentheses. ***, ** and * indicate significant at 1 per cent, 5 per cent and 10 per cent level.
