Note: Authors’ own elaboration with data from the Mexican Health and Aging Study (Mexican Health and Aging Study, 2012, 2015). Values shown are unweighted and row percentages are the bottom number. The diagonal is highlighted in grey to show those who remained with the same number of limited dimensions after three years. Chi-square tests were calculated to establish whether the differences between the number of limited dimensions in 2012 and 2015 were significant.
Significance:
p ≤ .001.
