Binomial logistic regression with random intercepts for subjects using the Markov chain Monte Carlo approach was used. OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; CAOD: Classification and Assessment of Occupational Dysfunction. Model 1 is a model with no adjustment. Model 2 had no random effects, but adjusted for age, gender, education, economic conditions, household composition, depression, instrumental activities of daily living, and social isolation. Model 3 had a random effect, adjusting for age, gender, education, economic conditions, household composition, depression, instrumental activities of daily living, and social isolation.
