Note: ADL = Activities of daily living. SIB = Severe Impairment Battery. BDS = Behavioral Dyscontrol Scale.

^a= Higher values represent less perceived difficulty despite health.

^bHigher scores on the Severe Impairment Battery and Behavioral Dyscontrol Scale indicate superior cognitive functioning.

^*= p < .05.

^**= p ≤ .01.

^***= p < .001.
