  1. Model 1 adjusted variables: age, sex, educational level and Timed Up and Go Test. Model 2 was developed with a nested forward multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression. cHR (crude hazard ratio), aHR (adjusted hazard ratio), 95% CI (95% confidence interval)
  2. aDiseases included in the table refer to self-reported history. Estimates in bold are statistically significant at p < 0.05
