UOR: Unadjusted Odds Ratio; AOR: Adjusted Odds Ratio; CI: Confidence interval; Pseudo R2: Measure of model fitting on the same data, predicting the same outcome.
Model 1: Unadjusted model
Model 2: Adjusted for age, gender, marital status, residence, education level, religion, caste, MPCE quintile.
Model 3: Adjusted for Model 2, ADL disability, IADL disability, poor sleep, pain, SRH, currently smoking, alcohol use, Physical Inactivity, and obesity.
Gender-stratified models were not adjusted for gender.
