Match 1 with Health Variables is presented above the diagonal and Match 2 without Health Variables is presented below the diagonal. Marital Status was dichotomized such that 0 includes participants who selected widowed, separated, divorced, or never married and 1 = married, Health = self-reported health, ADLs = activities of daily living, IADLs = instrumental activities of daily living, AIMS2 = Arthritis Impact Measurement Scales 2 Level of Tension, GDS-SF = Geriatric Depression Scale – Short Form.
