Fig 2 Estimated survival curves for persons free of health complications (Good Health) relative to persons with numerous complications (Poor Health). Good health was defined as nondepressed, 0 days hospitalized over the past year, free of symptoms of infections, no broken bones or amputations, and no surgical repairs of ulcers. Poor health was defined as probable major depression, with 13.1+1 SD days hospitalized, 20.0+1 SD occurrences of infectionlike symptoms, a broken bone or amputation, and 2.1+1 SD surgeries to repair pressure ulcers. All other variables included in the model were assumed to be at the mean level.
