Model I was adjusted for socio-demographic (age, sex, educational level, current driving status) and health-related characteristics (subjective health status, trouble with vision, diabetes mellitus, arthritis, depression). Model II was adjusted for socio-demographic (age, sex, educational level, current driving status) and health-related (subjective health status, trouble with vision, diabetes mellitus, arthritis, depression) and environmental factors (discomfort with the neighborhood environment, accessibility to neighborhood facilities, social support).
