Additional file 3: Table S3. of Determinants of difficulty in activities of daily living in ambulatory patients undergoing hemodialysis

Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses on ADL difficulty. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed with ADL difficulty as a dependent variable and age, male sex, blood hemoglobin concentration, serum albumin concentration, comorbidity index, depression symptoms, maximum leg strength, one-leg standing time, and usual walking speed as independent variables for each level. *ADL items with higher level difficulty included “walking up two flights of stairs,” “walking 1 km,” “walking 600 m,” and “rising from the floor.” †ADL items with middle level difficulty included “walking down two flights of stairs,” “walking 300 m,” “walking up one flight of stairs,” and “sitting down on the floor.” ‡ADL items with lower level difficulty included “walking 20 m quickly,” “walking down one flight of stairs,” “walking 100 m,” and “rising from a chair.” ADL, activities of daily living; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval.
