Note. M and SD are means and standard deviations for the Older Adults without Life-Threatening Disease (OA; n = 89) and Older Adults with Cancer (OAC; n = 92) group. Values in square brackets indicate the associated 95% confidence interval for each correlation. Missing values handled by pairwise deletion. Depression not included as it was assessed dichotomously.
