Cross-sectional multivariate analyses controlled for age, duration, low education, race, oral steroids, obesity, SLAQ, BILD.
Longitudinal analyses: baseline frailty component/category predicting change in function 2 years later.
Controlled for age, duration, low education, race, oral steroids, obesity, SLAQ, BILD and baseline value of function.
*Values are mean±SD, or % (n).
†Values are β parameter estimate (p value) from multiple linear regression analysis, or OR (95% CI) from multiple logistic regression analysis.
‡p Value from t-test.
