*Reference category: 60 years. The −2 log likelihood was 682.3 for model 1, 697.9 for model 2 and 693.94 for model 3. Nagelkerke’s R2 was 0.23 for model 1, 0.21 for model 2 and 0.21 for model 3. Results from the Hosmer–Lemeshow goodness of fit: Χ 2 = 2.37, p = .967 for model 1, Χ 2 = 7.10, p = .526 for model 2 and Χ 2 = 6.08, p = .638 for model 3.
