Based on a logistic regression model adjusted for age, sex, number of chronic conditions, self-reported health status, number of medications, use of a medication with adverse central nervous system (CNS) effects, cognitive impairment (Mini-Mental State Examination score <24), and significant depressive symptoms (Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale score ≥16).

Variables for depressive symptoms and use of a medication with adverse CNS effects were entered into the multivariable model but were highly nonsignificant (P > .50) and were deleted from the reported model.

Variables for number of medications and for use of a medication with CNS adverse effects were entered into the multivariable model but were highly nonsignificant (P > .50) and were deleted from the reported model.
