Model 1, adjusted for age. Model 2, adjusted for factors in Model 1 plus gait speed (fastest 6–m gait speed from two trials).

Model 3, adjusted for factors in Model 2 plus others (clinic site, season of assessment, BMI, walking for exercise, Teng 3MS, race, self-reported health, smoking status, body pain, ADL impairment, IADL impairment, prior hospitalization, COPD, CHF, and cancer).
