Multiple logistic regression models (unadjusted and adjusted) for dichotomous 55-Item frailty index and for worsening frailty index with three categories of cancer status: without cancer, remote cancer, and recent cancer

Analysis Groups Unadjusted OR (95 % CI) p value Adjusted OR (95 % CI)a p value
FI > 0.25 in follow-up Reference versus group 1 1 (0.61–1.64) 0.98 0.81 (0.39–1.64) 0.561
Reference versus group 2 1.53 (1.04–2.26) 0.03 1.74 (1.15–2.61) 0.008
Group 1 versus group 2 0.65 (0.35–1.21) 0.18 0.46 (0.2–1.04) 0.065
Worsening of the FI Reference versus group 1 0.56 (0.39–0.8) 0.002 0.61 (0.38–0.99) 0.046
Reference versus group 2 1.12 (0.81–1.54) 0.463 1.03 (0.74–1.43) 0.838
Group 1 versus group 2 0.5 (0.31–0.8) 0.004 0.59 (0.95–2.96) 0.074

Reference corresponds to the group without cancer

Group 1 corresponds to the group with cancer of more than 10 years since diagnosis

Group 2 corresponds to the group with cancer of 10 years or less since diagnosis
