Model 1: multivariable logistic regression analyses with life satisfaction (3-year follow-up) as the dependent variable (personal factor and motor-related aspects as independent variables).
| Independent variables | Unadjusted for life satisfaction at baseline, n = 158 | Adjusted for life satisfaction at baseline, n = 159 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| OR (95 % CI) | Wald | p value | OR (95 % CI) | Wald | p value | |
| General self-efficacy (GSE) | 1.081 (1.019–1.147) | 6.765 | 0.009 | |||
| Walking difficulties (Walk-12G) | 0.962 (0.929–0.997) | 4.725 | 0.030 | 0.961 (0.929–0.994) | 5.401 | 0.020 |
| Nagelkerke R square | 0.157 | 0.221 | ||||
| Hosmer and Lemeshow test, p value | 0.203 | 0.534 | ||||
OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; GSE = General Self-Efficacy Scale (10–40, higher = better); Walk-12G = Generic Walk-12 (0–42, higher = worse). Life satisfaction was assessed with item 1 of the Life Satisfaction Questionnaire (scored 1–6; higher = better), and scores were dichotomized into not satisfied (1–4; coded as 0) and satisfied (5-6; coded as 1). The following 7 independent variables were initially included in the models (backward method): sex; education; general self-efficacy; motor symptoms; walking difficulties; fall-related activity avoidance; difficulties with, or need help in activities of daily living. Statistically significant p values (0.05) are presented in bold.
