An observational study identifying obese subgroups among older adults at increased risk of mobility disability: do perceptions of the neighborhood environment matter?

The results from the fully adjusted mixed effect logistic regression model was marginally significant, likely due to the reduced sample size within this sub-stratum, but was consistent in terms of direction with the results of the recursive partitioning analysis: i.e., among non-African American/Black participants in this older age strata who reported having friends or acquaintances in the neighborhood who differed in demographic characteristics from themselves, the odds of being obese were 1.2 higher than for those not reporting this type of neighborhood situation (95 % CI: 1.0, 1.4; p = .095).
