N = 1,237 for 40-ft walk. * p ≤ .05, ** p < .01, *** p < .001. Beta coefficients represent absolute differences (with 95% confidence interval) relative to the referent group. CI: confidence interval; OR: odds ratio; REF: referent group. Model 1 adjusted for race/ethnicity, difficulty paying for basics, marital status, smoking status, education, age, BMI, physical activity, clinical site, and outcome-specific variables. Model 2 adjusted for Model 1 covariates as well as self-rated health status, bodily pain, depressive symptoms, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, angina/myocardial infarction, stroke, diabetes, cancer, hormone therapy use, menopausal status, and insomnia medication use.
