The results are from the same multivariable models that are described in Figure 2. The models included the three intervening events, which were mutually exclusive and hierarchical, and also adjusted for number of months to ICU admission from start of 18-month interval, and number of the specific 18-month interval (to account for calendar time). The 250 observations were contributed by 209 community-living participants.
Data on body mass index, functional self-efficacy, hearing impairment, and visual impairment were collected during the prior comprehensive assessment, while data on number of disabilities were collected during the prior monthly interview
Per point on scale from 0 to 40, where higher scores indicate greater confidence performing activities.
Assessed using a handheld Audioscope, with severe impairment defined as 4 out of 4 tones missed, based on 1000- and 2000-Hz measurements for the left and right ears.
Defined as > 26% when assessed with a Jaeger card and use of corrective lenses, if applicable.
Of 13 possible: 4 essential, 5 instrumental, and 4 mobility.
