Baseline Values and Unconditional Change Over 2 Years in Balance Confidence, Impairment, Functional Limitation, and Disability Variables.

Variable Baseline value
M ± SD
Intercept estimate (standard error) Linear estimate (standard error) Quadratic estimate (standard error)
Balance confidence
 Activity-Specific Balance Confidence Scale 78.16 ± 16.72 4.35 (.01)*** −.002 (.001)***
Impairments
 Berg Balance Test 48.91 ± 5.62 3.89 (.007)*** .001 (.001) −.0001 (<.00001)*
 Hip flexion strength (normalized for height and weight) 0.15 ± 0.05 0.15 (.003)*** .001 (.0005) −.00003 (.00001)*
Functional limitations
 Timed-Up and Go Test (seconds) 12.62 ± 8.65 2.54 (.04)*** .02 (.003)*** −.0004 (.0001)**
 Repeated chair stands (seconds) 15.77 ± 5.88 2.73 (.06)*** .01 (.004)*
Disability
 Physical activitya 88.95 ± 47.47 4.53 (.03)*** −.01 (.001)***
 Activity restrictionsb 8.90 ± 1.30 8.95 (.07)*** −.01 (.004)**
 Lubben’s social network 32.47 ± 7.53 32.16 (.45)*** −.07 (.01)***

Note. Each line reports an individual univariate model with no predictors. Higher scores indicate better performance on the Berg Balance Test, hip flexion strength, physical activity, activity restrictions, and social networks and indicate worse performance on the Timed-Up and Go Test and repeated chair stands.
