Multivariable-adjusted model 1: adjusted for age and sex.

Multivariable-adjusted model 2: additionally adjusted for economic development regions (>$10,000, $10,000 to >7,000, and ≤ $7,000).

Multivariable-adjusted model 3: additionally adjusted for sleep (≥6 h or <6 h), smoking (never, past, or current), and whether one had a fall experience (yes or no).

Multivariable-adjusted model 4: additionally adjusted for cancer, diabetes mellitus, heart disease, hypertension, and stroke. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used in model 4.
