Note. Valid N =773 for the model predicting medication use and N=808 for the model predicting psychiatric/psychological treatment. OR=odds ratio. Covariates with empty cells were not included in the corresponding regression model. Final models presented in this table were constructed based on the purposeful selection of covariates described in Bursac et al.26 Results were weighted to adjust for the complex sample design of HRS.
