Note: indicates statistical significance at 1% level, SPPB= Short Physical Performance Battery, Wscore is used to standardize adaptive number series test in the 3rd wave of CHARLS in 2015, which measures a specific form of fluid intelligence related to quantitative reasoning (Strauss et al., 2018).
