The amount and direction of change for individuals between t1 and t2 and between t2 and t3 are shown in Table 9.4. More than a third of the cohort had a consistent reduction in dependence with another third showing an initial reduction followed by an increase in dependence. While a total of 79 individuals reduced their dependence score between t1 and t2, a total of 38 individuals increased their dependence score between t2 and t3 and 31 of these were people who had reduced
