1

Stair climb test was not conducted at the Boston SWAN site (included Black and White women).

2

Model adjusted for age, site, BMI, overall health, interaction of BMI*overall health, difficulty paying for basics, and ever had osteoarthritis (total cohort and stratified by race/ethnicity).

P-values for the interaction between activity type and race/ethnicity group were: sedentary*race/ethnicity = 0.32, low-light*race/ethnicity = 0.004, high-light*race/ethnicity=<0.0001, MVPA*race/ethnicity = 0.0003.
