Odds of physical and ADL limitations by grip tertile and activity level.

		Mid grip			High grip
		Overall	Low activity	High activity	Overall	Low activity	High activity
Physical	6,388	0.54 (0.42, 0.69)	0.62 (0.42, 0.92)	0.54 (0.39, 0.75)	0.42 (0.31, 0.56)	0.40 (0.25, 0.63)	0.48 (0.33, 0.70)
ADL	4,320	0.58 (0.45, 0.76)	0.45 (0.32, 0.64)	0.91 (0.61, 1.37)	0.60 (0.43, 0.84)	0.50 (0.32, 0.79)	0.87 (0.53, 1.46)
IADL	6,248	0.59 (0.47, 0.75)	0.58 (0.41, 0.81)	0.69 (0.49, 0.97)	0.46 (0.34, 0.61)	0.40 (0.26, 0.61)	0.61 (0.40, 0.92)

Referent: low grip. ADL: activities of daily living, IADL: instrumental activities of daily living.
Models are weighted and adjusted for age, sex, education, race, number of comorbidities, current smoking status, and body mass index.
Observations with zero or negative weights do not contribute to estimates and were automatically eliminated from the analyses ( = 3,028).
