LSA-Variables	Total group n = 117^a	Non-CI n = 57	CI n = 60	P-value **
LSA-Variables	Mean (SD)	Mean (SD)	Mean (SD)	P-value **
LSA-IS-T total score	12.72 (9.00)	14.94 (10.34)	10.62 (6.96)	.035
LSA-IS-M maximal score	2.17 (.096)	2.35 (1.04)	2.00 (0.84)	.084
LSA-IS-E equipment-assisted score	1.74 (1.16)	2.05 (1.16)	1.45 (1.10)	.008
LSA-IS-I independent score	0.44 (1.99)	0.51 (1.14)	0.37 (0.86)	.546

Presented are results for the total group and sub-groups according to cognitive status
Abbreviations: LSA-IS Life-space assessment for institutionalized settings, −T Total score, −M Maximal life-space, E Equipment assisted life-space, I Independent life-space
**p-values are given for Mann Whitney U tests for differences between persons without cognitive impairment (Non-CI; n = 57), and persons with cognitive impairment (CI; n = 60) at baseline. ^an = 2 were excluded, as these persons were transferred for diagnostic reasons during the relevant time period
