Table 2.

Risk factor analysis for care level progression using a generalized estimating equations model. The generalized estimating equations model showed that age and dementia were risk factors associated with care level progression. Advanced care management and living alone reduced the risk for deterioration of care levels.

Variable^a	Odds ratio (95% CI)	P value
Age (years)	1.01 (1.01-1.02)	<.001
Gender (female)	1.04 (0.99-1.08)	.13
Living alone (yes)	0.81 (0.76-0.87)	<.001
