  2. Bold numbers: significant at p ≤ 0.05
  3. aStage 1: Determinants for transition to long-term care for individuals with no long-term care at t1
  4. Model includes all individuals with a transition from no long-term care (t1) to either informal or formal long-term care (t2) (n = 96) in comparison to individuals without a transition (n = 368) to examine the determinants for a transition from no long-term care to any type of long-term care
  5. bStage 2: Determinants for utilization of formal vs. informal long-term care
  6. Model includes all individuals with a transition from no long-term care (t1) to long-term care (t2) (n = 96) to examine the determinants for the utilization of formal versus informal long-term care; individuals are grouped by utilization of either formal (n = 30) or informal long-term care (n = 66) at t2
