Notes: Covariates are (from Model 1 to Model 5) age (p = 0.486, 0.419, 0.484, 0.491, 0.515, respectively), sex (p = 0.529, 0.510, 0.525, 0.595, 0.548, respectively), years of schooling (p = 0.048, 0.018, 0.030, 0.030, 0.056, respectively), marital status (p = 0.851, 0.730, 0.836, 0.957, 0.891, respectively), living arrangement (p = 0.132, 0.142, 0.202, 0.179, 0.315, respectively), smoking (p = 0.063, 0.089, 0.082, 0.091, 0.076, respectively), alcohol drinking (p = 0.001, 0.002, 0.001, 0.008, 0.004, respectively), Charlson Index (all p < 0.001), mental health (p = 0.112, 0.127, 0.164, 0.063, 0.098, respectively), exercise (excluding walking) (p = 0.020, 0.022, 0.022, 0.019, 0.029, respectively), and sleep difficulty at baseline (all p < 0.001). p values for variables (walking volume, frequency, duration, and speed) are of comparison between baseline and follow-up; p values for levels (low and moderate) are of comparison with high level.

Abbreviations: CI = confidence interval; IRR = incident rate ratio; MET = metabolic equivalent value.
