Note: Regressions employ Wave 1 weights to account for complex survey design. All models control for respondents’ gender, age, age2, race/ethnicity, education, W1 household assets (logged), foreign born status, W1 household size, W1 frailty proxy, W1 chronic conditions, W1 binge drinker, W1 current smoker, W1 emotional health, W1 can rely on friends, W1 can open up to friends, moved between waves, W1 residential tenure. Coefficients for the individual-level variables can be found in Supplementary Table 1. OR = Odds ratio.

p < .10; *p < .05; **p < .01; ***p < .001.
