Odds ratio calculation for the standing balance portion of the SPPBa

The models are also adjusted for age, gender, and race. OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval.

b

Renal Failure is the reference group. The model probability is the tendency to not complete the balance test, so an odds ratio <1 indicates better performance as compared with Renal Failure patients.
