Independent variables: frequency of high calorie snacks (NUTHC), frequency of high fibre cereal (NUTFBR), nutrition risk score (NURSCR), nutrition risk classification (NURCLS2=moderate risk, NURCLS3=high risk) and PASE (Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly). Covariates: OA type (1=hand, hip, knee; 2=knee; 3=hip and knee; 4=hip; 5=hand and knee; 6=hand and hip; 7=hand), age, sex, body mass index (BMI), depressive symptoms (CES-D-10), education level (EDU), income (INC), social inequality (SEQ).
Bolded variables indicate those that were statistically significant (p<0.05).
