Data were obtained from 1277 community-dwelling people aged\u2009\u2265\u200975. Multivariable models included predictors that were selected through review of existing literature, perspectives of older people, and univariable analyses. Multiple imputation was used to account for missing data.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Participants\u2019 mean age was 84.61 years (SD 4.95) and just over half were female (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009655, 51.29%). At baseline, participants had a mean NEADL score of 53.82 (SD 13.19). Younger age, fewer hours of informal help received, no registered visual impairment, lower frailty, living alone, higher cognitive function, greater physical function, absence of depression, and higher baseline NEADL were significant predictors of greater independence at 12-months. Younger age, higher baseline NEADL score, living alone, less frailty, higher cognitive function, alcohol consumption, greater physical function, and absence of depression predicted greater independence at 24-months.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Depression and frailty are important predictors of an older person\u2019s independence with other variables such as activities of daily living, age, cognitive function, alcohol consumption, and living status also having an impact over a prolonged period.
