Visual ability was measured in dimensionless log odds units (logits) (0.14-logit change in visual ability corresponds to ability change expected from a 1-line change in visual acuity). Interventions Low-vision devices without therapy and LV devices with therapy. Main Outcomes and Measures...
The odds of veterans having mental health visits decreased with age, so that veterans aged 31 years or older were less likely to have outpatient mental health visits than those younger than 31 years. A similar trend could be observed for ED and inpatient mental health visits, alth...

Their antics many times did not meet with grownup approval even though care was taken to prevent destruction of property. They seemed to understand very early in life that fun is not something you have but rather something you make. Simple things that are so many times overlooked by older ...
Multiple studies indicate that United States veterans have an increased risk of developing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) compared to civilians. However, the responsible etiological factors are unknown. In the general population, specific occupational (e.g. truck drivers, airline pilots) and environ...
Our sample included VA sites from the southeastern region of the United States which unfortunately have the highest rates of diabetes, obesity and associated healthcare disparities [35]. While we were able to uniquely include housing instability, we did not have access to other social determinants ...
Increased odds of homelessness were also observed among the sub-cohort of young veterans with schizophrenia (results not shown); the odds of homelessness were 5.1 times (95% CI: 4.78–5.55) greater in the young veterans with versus without schizophrenia. In this model, young veterans with hist...
using Chi squared or Fisher exact tests, as appropriate. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the effect of risk factors on OSSN, as represented by an odds ratio (OR). A 95% confidence interval (CI) was determined with ap-value < 0.05 being considered statistically significant...
Overall, 55.3% (95% confidence interval [CI] 51.3–59.3%) reported ever-receiving CRC-screening services. In a multivariable logistic regression model, never-receivers of CRC screening were twice as likely to reside outside of the Northeast, and more likely to be married (odds ratio [OR] ...
