Data are shown as odds ratios (95%CIs) that Pre-frailty and Frailty compared to the Robust in each model using multinomial logistic regression. LPA, Light Physical Activity; MVPA, Moderate-to-Vigorous Physical Activity. Model 1, adjusted for age, sex, education, living alone, drink and smoke status, polypharmacy, MoCA score, PSQI score, IADL, and wear time.
Model 2, a, additional adjusted total MVPA time
b, additional adjusted total sedentary time
c, additional adjusted bouted MVPA and sporadic MVPA.
