a The coefficient for the practice effect term is suppressed from the table.

b Results are from joint longitudinal-survival models. Model 1 controlled for age, sex, and nativity. Model 2 controlled for covariates in model 1 plus education. Model 3 controlled for covariates in model 2 plus diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, stroke, and depression. Model 4 controlled for covariates in model 3 plus interaction terms between time and all covariates.
