Table 3 Odds ratios of difficulty going up/down stairs by statin use and 25-hydroxyvitamin D status, adjusted for inflammatory markers, BMI, knee OA, education, SEC and smoking (n = 1556).

From: Associations of statin use with motor performance and myalgia may be modified by 25-hydroxyvitamin D: findings from a British birth cohort

 

Model A (Sex adjusted only)

Model B (Mutually adjusted with interaction)
