Notes: HH = household; SD = standard deviation; ADLs = activities of daily living; IADLs = instrumental activities of daily living. Units of analysis are person-years. Means and standard deviations for the sample are shown by care arrangement (columns). Variables here are not transformed. See Supplementary Appendix Table 2 for descriptive statistics for individuals in the final sample rather than in person-years.
