Notes: time trend adjusted for age, MCS = Mental Component Summary, PCS = Physical Component Summary, norm values < 40 points = a standard deviation (SD) of 10 points below the mean norm, norm values > 60 points = a SD of 10 points above the mean norm, the continuous time-trend variable is coded 0 for 2002 and 1 for 2018 (reference group: 2002). 95%CI = confidence interval of 95%, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001. Norm values > 60 points for PCS are not displayed for age 80+ due to small sample size (n < 20).
