Notes:

a

Any dependency in IADL—if the answer to one of the IADL (instrumental activities of daily living) questions (shopping or preparing food) was positive.

b

c

Any dependency in ADL—if the answer to one of the ADL questions (dressing, washing, shopping, or preparing food) was positive.

Abbreviations: ADL, activities of daily living; BADL, basic activities of daily living; BPI, Brief Pain Inventory; CI, confidence interval; GS, geriatric syndromes; IADL, instrumental activities of daily living; OR, odds ratio
