  2. Notes: The ADL disabilities are presented in ascending order of their median ages of disability onset (rounded to one decimal place). Weighted estimates using baseline individual-level weights. The weighted population of the risk group with major chronic condition over 1998–2014 comprises 3,514,052 subjects (unweighted: 1203), while the comparison risk group comprises 1,073,263 subjects (unweighted: 401). Subjects have no baseline (1998) ADL disabilities and have complete information through 2014 or death
