Associations with functional disability and handicap
| Patients n = 198 | Dependency in ADL (BI<20) OR (95% CI) | Inactive lifestyle (FAI<30) OR (95% CI) | Moderate or severe handicap (mRS>2) OR (95% CI) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Values are odds ratios (95% confidence intervals). | |||
| ADL, activities of daily living; BI, Barthel Index; CT, computed tomography; FAI, Frenchay Activities Index; mRS, (modified) Rankin Scale; NE, variable not entered in the multivariate analysis; OR, odds ratio; VE, vascular event. | |||
| All variables in the univariate analysis were adjusted for sex and age. | |||
| *Age was entered as a continuous variable; the increase in hazard is for every 10 years. | |||
| †Variable was measured at baseline. | |||
| ‡Variable was measured during follow-up. | |||
