Model 1: In multivariate logistic regression, forward (LR) variable selection method was used. Age, income, education, occupation, cognitive impairment, co-morbidities, polypharmacy, chronic pain, bADL impairment, iADL impairment and glycaemic control were adjusted for in the model.
†
Model 2: The model used the variables selection method. Income, occupation, cognitive impairment, co-morbidities and glycaemic control were adjusted for in the model.
