  1. MVPA = moderate-to-vigorous physical activity; VF = visual field, MD = mean deviation; better eye; y = years, FoF = fear of falling; vs = versus; AA = African-American
  2. Values in bold indicate p < 0.05
  3. aMVPA is the dependent variable in each model. Model 0 contains bivariate models of each covariate with MVPA. Model 1 contains CS, Age, Sex, Race, Education, and Comorbidity as independent variables. Model 2 adds FoF as a possible mediator between CS and MVPA
  4. bPerson measure scores are derived from Rasch analytic model. Higher scores indicate greater ability, or less fear of falling
