Note. For dichotomous variables we report percentages rather than means. Standard errors are reported in parentheses. Values in the same row that do not share the same superscript are significantly different at p < .05. For time-varying variables, we show values at ages 60 to 61. ADLs = activities of daily living; BMI = body mass index.
