Binary logistic regression models for constipation in patients with dementia.
| Odds Ratio | 95% Confidence Interval | p-Value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Age | 0.998 | 0.932–1.067 | 0.944 |
| Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) | 1.048 | 0.968–1.135 | 0.250 |
| Water, mL | 1.004 | 1.001–1.007 | 0.002 * |
| Mini-Nutritional Assessment Score (MNA) | 1.067 | 0.917–1.241 | 0.404 |
| Fiber | 1.009 | 0.953–1.001 | 0.051 |
| Exercise (category) | 0.935 | 0.331–2.642 | 0.899 |
| Constant | 0.068 | 0.438 |
Note: Multiple binary logistic regression was used to determine the factors, including age, exercise, MMSE, MNA, and water intake, associated with constipation in patients with dementia. Multiple binary logistic regression was performed by the enter method. * p < 0.05.
