  1. Itemization of control variable groups is found in Table 1, and the full estimated model results are in Tables 4 and 5 in Appendix 1. PAFC is coded as “1” if care was not expected for future need
  2. Data source: CHARLS 2013, weights are used. Lagged depression is 2011 data
  3. PAFC Perceived availability of future care, se standard error
