Results From Logistic Regression and GEE: KORA-Age Study (2008-2011).
| Logistic regression results | ORs (95% CI)a | p value |
|---|---|---|
| At baseline (n = 808)b | ||
| Maximum grip strength | 0.96 [0.94, 0.98] | <.0001 |
| Maximum grip strength adjustedc | 0.98 [0.94, 1.01] | .1528 |
| At follow-up (n = 808)d | ||
| Maximum grip strength | 0.95 [0.93, 0.97] | <.0001 |
| Maximum grip strength adjusted | 0.97 [0.94, 0.99] | .0255 |
| Longitudinal result (n = 808) | ||
| Maximum grip strength | 0.95 [0.94, 0.97] | <.0001 |

Note. GEE = generalized estimating equations; KORA = Cooperative Health Research in the Region of Augsburg; OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval.
a
OR (95% CI) per 1-kg increase in maximum grip strength.
b
Outcome examined is falls in the previous 12 months prior to baseline.
c
Adjusted for age and gender in overall results.
d
Outcome examined is falls in the previous 12 months prior to follow-up.
