Model 1 was a crude model without any adjustments. Physical frailty subdomains were added as independent variables in stepwise analysis. Model 2 was adjusted for age, gender, cardiovascular disease, MMSE, body mass index (BMI), and number of medications prescribed, using the forced entry method. OR, odds ratio.
