Table 4 Multivariate predicted probabilities for the functional limitation trajectories (N = 567)

From: Three-year trajectories in functional limitations and cognitive decline among Dutch 75+ year olds, using nine-month intervals

 

1: Continuous low functioning,

high mortality

(N = 127)

2: Steep decline in functioning, low mortality

(N = 36)

3: Gradual decline,

low mortality

(N = 149)

4: Moderately high functioning, low mortality

(N = 189)

5: Continuous high functioning, low mortality

(N = 66)
