Mean differences in chair rise time (reciprocal of chair rise time in seconds * 100) in 74 men and 90 women who completed 10 chair rises in > 14 seconds by leg power, weight, height and balance time from multivariable models. All models also include a clinic variable.

a

Each variable included in a model separately and adjusted for clinic and sex (and sex by balance time in relevant model because of significant interaction)

b

Fully adjusted model includes LEP, balance time, height, weight, clinic, sex and balance time by sex interaction

c

calculated from model including sex interaction
