Mortality risk associated with social context (n=473)^a

Context	Relative risk (CI)
	Model 1 (unadjusted)	Model 2 (adjusted)b
Alone	1.01 (0.83, 1.24)	0.92 (0.74, 1.14)
With spousec	0.76 (0.61, 0.95)*	1.01 (0.77, 1.33)
With familyc	0.79 (0.62, 1.00)*	0.90 (0.70, 1.14)
With friendsc	0.70 (0.55, 0.89)*	0.72 (0.56, 0.93)*

^aRelative risks are reported; 95% confidence intervals for relative risks are shown in parentheses; * p<0.05

^bAdjusted mortality risks were obtained from Cox regression models including the respective activity, age, sex, education, number of diagnoses, balance/gait, digit letter, and living in institution

^cThe coding of this variable is equivalent to the dichotomy “yes–no” (see Table 1)
