  • The logistic regression has a Nagelkerke R=0.458, the Hosmer and Lemeshow test was not significant (p=0.09), the Omnibus test was very small (p=0.000).

  • For the multiple regression, the R2 was 0.724, R2 adjusted 0.7, the model is significant with p<0.001.

  • *Unstandardised regression coefficients (B).

  • †Disability pension (yes/no).
