Note: SPPB = Short Physical Performance Battery.

Unadjusted and adjusted associations among UA and indices of physical function and body composition were determined using Spearman correlation coefficients and partial Spearman correlation coefficients, respectively.

Adjusted for gender, study site, diabetes, creatinine, and body mass index.
