Ordinal regression analysis of control over daily life as a function of setting and background variables

Variable	Parameter	B	SE	OR	95% CI	p
Threshold	High needs	−3.40	0.38	–	−4.15 to −2.65	<0.001**
	Some needs	−1.21	0.34	–	−1.88 to −0.53	<0.001**
Dependency	(Continuous scale)	−0.16	0.22	0.86	−0.20 to −0.11	<0.001**
Self-perceived health (base1=very bad, bad)	Very good, good	1.08	0.27	2.96	0.55 to 1.62	<0.001**
	Fair	0.82	0.24	2.28	0.35 to 1.30	0.001**
Age group (base=90+)	65–79	−0.37	0.31	0.69	−0.97 to 0.22	0.219
	80–89	−0.62	0.29	0.54	−1.18 to −0.06	0.031*
Setting (base=home care)	Extra care housing	1.30	0.33	3.68	0.66 to 1.95	<0.001**
	Care homes	0.76	0.24	2.13	0.28 to 1.23	0.002**

Notes: SE: standard error. OR: odds ratio. CI: confidence interval. 1. ‘Base’ refers to the variable parameter against which comparisons are made. For dependency, higher scores equate to being more dependent.

Significance levels: * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01.
