The Results of Fitting Different Individual Growth Models in Functioning in Activities of Daily Living*.

Functioning in Activities of Daily Living (ADL) was assessed with the six Katz ADL items scored on a three point scale (0 = no help needed, 1 = some help needed, 2 = much help needed), resulting in a score ranging 0–12, where higher scores indicate more help needed.Adjusted for age, sex, education and living situation at the first assessment with which this participant was included in this study. For participants who developed dementia this was their status at the last KP assessment before dementia was diagnosed and for participants who remained without dementia the KP assessment that was randomly chosen as the starting point of the follow up trajectory for this study.For model 2 and 3 this row indicates the initial status for participants without dementia or morbidity.For model 2 and 3 this row indicated the linear rate of change for participants without dementia or morbidity.|| For model 2 and 3 this row indicated the quadratic rate of change for participants without dementia or morbidity.
