Table 5. Odds of Poor Outcome Associated with Race among Women with High BMI and among Women with Large Waist Circumference.
The table shows results for African-American (AA) and Caucasian (C) women with high BMI and women with large waist circumference, presented as odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) associated with being African-American (vs. Caucasian) for poor baseline-to-4-year function outcome (dependent variable). The crude ORs are shown first, followed by the ORs adjusted for age, education, and income, followed by the ORs from fully adjusted models (adjusted for age, education, income, BMI, comorbidity, depressive symptoms, physical activity, knee pain, disease severity).
