Table 2

Number of cohort members showing relevant predictor and event combinations (the total is smaller than n=2012, as some participants did not contribute observation time because the event already occurred at the first wave; for corresponding graphs and HRs, see figure 2A–D)

  • *Interpretation of the frequencies analogous to footnotes of table 2a.

  • †These 90 individuals reported at one wave being in a depressed mood (DeprMood) and at a later wave functional decline (FunctDecline).

  • ‡These 140 individuals reported at one wave being in a depressed mood (DeprMood) and at later waves never showed functional decline (FunctDecline).

  • §These 431 individuals reported at no wave being in a depressed mood (DeprMood) before they experienced functional decline (FunctDecline).

  • ¶These 783 individuals reported at no wave being in a depressed mood (DeprMood) nor did they experience functional decline (FunctDecline).
