Fully adjusted = included all partially adjusted covariates (site, age, education, race group, body mass index), in addition to the Graded Chronic Pain Scale pain intensity; NP = neuropathic-like pain; partially adjusted = covariates were site, age, education, race group, and body mass index; SPPB = Short Physical Performance Battery; unadjusted = no covariates were included in analyses.
