Multivariate analysis: Odds of cognitive impairment conferred by physical inactivity and obesity

Total Memory Executive function
Step 1: Inactivity and obesity in separate models, with covariates*
Inactivity 2.0 (0.6, 6.3) 1.9 (0.8, 4.5) 9.0 (1.8, 45.6)
Obese by DXA 3.4 (1.0, 11.8) 1.5 (0.7, 3.3) 14.3 (1.5, 139.9)
Step 2: Combined inactivity + obesity, with covariates
Inactivity 1.8 (0.6, 5.9) 1.8 (0.7, 4.4) 9.4 (1.7, 52.8)
Obese by DXA 3.3 (0.9, 11.4) 1.4 (0.6, 3.3) 14.8 (1.4, 151.0)

Covariates = education, race, disease activity as measured by the SLAQ (49, 50), oral glucocorticoid use, and depression.
