SD gait speed women = 0.7 s/m; SD gait speed men = 0.5 s/m

Gait speed was mean-centered

Bolded results indicate statistical significance (p<0.05)

Model 1 adjusted for age, gender, and race (in Overall and Interaction models)

Model 2 adjusted for Model 1 + education and income

Model 3 adjusted for Model 2 + waist circumference (cm), physical activity, alcohol consumption, and ever smoking
