AOR with 95% confidence intervals that include 1.0 are not statistically significant.
GDS = Geriatric Depression Scale; AOR = adjusted odds ratios; OR = odds ratios.
Model 1 includes pain and GDS score only. Model 2 includes all variables listed. All ORs are adjusted for all other variables. Unless noted, the final models were limited to variables with statistically significant AORs.
