Note: Adjusted for baseline age, age-squared, sex, black race, Hispanic ethnicity, education and income and one-year lagged values of financial strain, home disorder, relocating, modifying home and walking speed in a structural equation model with good fit (RMSEA = 0.027). Unstandardized coefficients are presented. Cross-lagged associations were constrained across study years. 2014 sampling weights were used
a Additionally adjusted for presence of social support
b Additionally adjusted for two-year lagged values of height, chronic conditions and BMI
