Adjusted Change in Gait Speed per 1 SD Increase in log-PVAT

Per 1 SD Increase in log-PVATa	Gait Speed (m/s)
Model	Change (95% CI) m/s	% Change Relative to Mean Gait Speed of 0.96 m/sa	p Value
Model 1	−0.068 (−0.09, −0.05)	−7.1% (−9.4%, −5.2%)	<.0001
Model 2	−0.031 (−0.06, −0.003)	−3.2% (−6.3%, −0.3%)	.03
Model 3	−0.032 (−0.06, −0.003)	−3.3% (−6%, −0.3%)	.03

Note: PVAT = Perivascular adipose tissue.

Model 1: Adjustment for length of the descending aorta.

Model 2: Adjustment for Model 1+ study site, race, education, menopausal status at PVAT assessment, and the following covariates from the visit of gait speed assessment: age, BMI, smoking status., difficulty paying for basics, and overall health status.

Model 3: Adjustment for Model 2 + any comorbidity by gait speed assessment.

^aPercent change in gait speed relative to mean gait speed was calculated as estimate of change in gait speed per 1 SD increase in log-PVAT divided by mean gait speed (0.96 m/s) multiplied by 100%.
