NOTES: In this model, we create a categorical scheme for our measure of cognitive health using episodic memory recall. We derive four dummies: episodic memory 1 includes respondents (18%) who were able to recall 0 to 5 words out of 20; episodic memory 2 includes respondents with 6 to 10 words (54%); episodic memory 3 includes respondents with 11 to 15 words, and the final category (omitted) was for the 3% of respondents who could recall 16 or more of the 20 possible words. The sample is restricted to respondents who self-reported an age of at least 45. Chronic condition is self-reported diabetes, heart disease, lung disease, stroke or hypertension. Working is defined as engaging in any labor market activity in the past 12 months; and any ADL is a binary indicator for having difficulty with at least one ADL. LASI used a stratified sampling design that sampled respondents independently by state, rural-urban area, and district. All multivariate models are unweighted, and the standard errors have been corrected for design effects of stratification. Table presents coefficients with t statistics in parentheses.
