Note: Reference category for self-rated health is “good.” OR = odds ratio.

p <.05

^**

p < .01.

In this analysis walking speeds were multiplied by 10; therefore, these ORs represent the factors by which the odds of the SRH outcome increases for each 0.1m/s increment in walking speed, after adjusting for the effects of the other covariates in the regression model.
