Low Bioelectrical Impedance Phase Angle Is a Significant Risk Factor for Frailty

Table 4

Logistic regression analysis for the prediction of frailty and LS in the total sample.

	Frailty				LS
Covariates	Coefficient (β)	Odds ratio	95% CI		Coefficient (β)	Odds ratio	95% CI
Phase angle (°)	−1.993	0.136	0.074-0.250	< 0.001	−1.165	0.312	0.192-0.506	< 0.001
BMI (kg/m^2)				0.11	0.096	1.101	1.020-1.188	0.014
Age (years)				0.68				0.21
Sex (male)				0.20				0.52

< 0.05, < 0.001.
The dependent variable was LS or frailty. Independent variables were age, sex, BMI, and phase angle. Italic text indicates a significant difference.
CI: confidence interval; BMI: body mass index; and LS: locomotive syndrome.
