Note: RQ=relationship quality; for continuous variables, higher scores indicate being older, more educated, higher BMI, more medication use, better self-reported health, larger network of family members and friends, higher positive relationship quality, and higher negative relationship quality.

Note: |r| > .05 were significant at the .05 level.
