TABLE 4—

Association of Having a Bus Pass With Physical Activity, Gait Speed, and Adiposity on Multivariable Analysis: The English Longitudinal Study of Ageing, England, 2012–2013

Model 1 Model 2
Variable OR or b (95% CI) OR or b (95% CI)
Some moderate or vigorous physical activity 1.43** (1.12, 1.84) 1.04 (0.80, 1.34)
Gait speed, m/s
 Women 0.06** (0.02, 0.09) 0.04 (0.00, 0.08)
 Men −0.01 (–0.04, 0.02) −0.02 (–0.06, 0.01)
Adiposity
 BMI, kg/m2, women −1.20*** (–1.93, −0.46) −0.97** (–1.75, −0.19)
 BMI, kg/m2, men −0.08 (–0.63, 0.46) 0.06 (–0.52, 0.65)
 Waist circumference, cm, women −3.32*** (–5.02, −1.62) −2.67** (–4.49, −0.86)
 Waist circumference, cm, men −0.59 (–1.99, 0.82) 0.05 (–1.45, 1.56)

Note. BMI = body mass index; CI = confidence interval; OR = odds ratio. Model 1 adjusted for age, gender (where not stratified), wealth, labor market status, activities of daily living, mobility problems, and car access. Model 2 additionally adjusted for frequency of use of public transport. The sample size was n = 2559 women and n = 2091 men.
