Table 3.
Association of number of steps or daily gait speed with prefrailty in the binomial logistic regression models.
Model | Group | Crude | Adjusted+ | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Odds ratio (95% CI) | Significant difference | Odds ratio (95% CI) | Significant difference | ||
Number of steps | Low Steps (n = 796) | Reference | *p < 0.001 | Reference | *p < 0.001 |
High Steps (n = 896) | 0.515 (0.422–0.629) | 0.556 (0.452–0.684) | |||
Daily gait speed | Low Speed (n = 854) | Reference | *p < 0.001 | Reference | *p = 0.004 |
High Speed (n = 838) | 0.664 (0.545–0.808) | 0.738 (0.599–0.909) |
+Adjusting variables were age, sex, and body mass index (BMI). CI, confidence interval; *p < 0.05.
Low Steps: Participants with a number of steps of < 6342.2 steps/day.
High Steps: Participants with a number of steps of ≥ 6342.2 steps/day.
Low Speed: Participants with a daily gait speed of < 106.3 cm/s.
High Speed: Participants with a daily gait speed of ≥ 106.3 cm/s.
