Multivariate logistic regression models of the relation of plasma CML with slow walking speed¹ in adults, aged ≥65 years, in the InCHIANTI Study

		Model adjusted for age, sex			Model adjusted for age, sex, education, smoking, MMSE			Model adjusted for age, education, smoking, MMSE, depression, and chronic diseases²
		OR	95% CI	P	OR	95% CI	P	OR	95%CI	P
Plasma CML³	All participants (n = 944)	1.51	1.01-2.25	0.04	1.52	1.01-2.28	0.04	1.60	1.02-2.52	0.04
Plasma CML³	Participants without diabetes (n = 828)	1.76	1.13-2.73	0.01	1.75	1.12-2.74	0.01	1.87	1.15-3.04	0.01

Slow walking speed defined as the lowest quintile of walking speed.

Chronic diseases were hypertension, heart failure, peripheral artery disease, stroke, diabetes, and renal insufficiency.

Odds ratios expressed per for highest quartile of plasma CML versus lower three quartiles in separate logistic regression models in which slow walking speed is the dependent variable.
