Physical and cognitive health combined, women
Good overall healthd	0.978 (0.968, 0.988)

Note. CI = confidence interval; OR = odds ratio. Using generalized estimating equations adjusted for age and gender, with year as the independent variable. If the quadratic term of year was significant (P < .05), the OR (95% CI) for this term is reported along with the OR (95% CI) for the linear term; if the quadratic term was not significant, by default only the OR (95% CI) for the linear term is reported.
