Note: Adjusted for baseline age, age-squared, sex, black race, Hispanic ethnicity, education and income and one-year lagged values of financial strain, home disorder, relocating, modifying home and ability to walk in a structural equation model with good fit (RMSEA = 0.023). Unstandardized coefficients are presented. Cross-lagged were associations constrained across study years. 2014 sampling weights were used
^a Additionally adjusted for presence of social support
^b Additionally adjusted for two-year lagged values of height, chronic conditions and BMI
