  1. Adjusted covariates: Model 1 = age, race-ethnicity. Model 2 = Model 1 + (stroke, heart disease, metabolic syndrome + current smoker). Model 3 = Model 2 + (white blood cell count, haemoglobin, C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, uric acid, bilirubin, creatinine, albumin, vitamin D). Model 4 = Model 3 + gait speed. S.E. = standard error.
