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
