Multivariate logistic regression models predicting falls during the 24-week follow-up
| Model 1a | Model 2b | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Variable | Odds Ratio (95 % CI) | p value | Odds Ratio (95 % CI) | p value |
| Frailty (Frailty Index > =0.25) | 2.95 (1.41–6.17) | 0.004 | - | - |
| Frailty Index (per 0.01 increase) | - | - | 1.05 (1.02–1.08) | 0.001 |
| Age | 0.99 (0.94–1.04) | 0.66 | 0.98 (0.92–1.03) | 0.37 |
| Female gender | 1.12 (0.58–2.14) | 0.74 | 1.15 (0.59–2.21) | 0.69 |
| Two falls in the past year | 5.17 (1.56–17.10) | 0.007 | 5.06 (1.47–17.39) | 0.01 |
aModel 1 used frailty (Frailty Index > =0.25) as an independent variable adjusted for age, gender, and history of two falls in the past year
bModel 2 used Frailty Index as an independent variable adjusted for age, gender, and history of two falls in the past year
