The table shows coefficients for the time trend from linear probability models of disability (left column) and physical limitations (right), respectively. Each model only controls for the time of interview plus one covariate; the label identifies the covariate. The rows are ordered from the largest to smallest point estimate of the interview time, which allows us to compare the effect of each individual covariate on the changes in disability and functional limitations.
