Table 2. Multivariable logistic regression model with predictors for distress after 5 years, per patient group

	OPCs (n = 104)	MPCs (n = 271)	OPs (n = 166)
Baseline predictors for distress after 5 years	aOR (95% CI)	aOR (CI 95% CI)	aOR (95% CI)
Sex (reference category men)	2.19 (0.70 to 6.88)	1.16 (0.51 to 2.63)	0.88 (0.38 to 2.03)
Distress (reference category: no)	1.98 (0.68 to 5.80)	2.94 (1.40 to 6.19)^a	1.84 (0.65 to 5.18)
Fatigue (reference category: no)	1.11 (0.25 to 5.00)	4.71 (1.81 to 12.31)^a	2.20 (0.38 to 12.74)
Functional status (reference category: independent)	2.67 (0.95 to 7.49)	1.23 (0.95 to 7.49)	2.19 (0.94 to 5.06)
Loss of spouse/partner (reference category: no)	0.57 (0.12 to 2.71)	2.09 (0.62 to 6.96)	2.65 (0.90 to 7.81)

aOR = adjusted odds ratio. CI = confidence intervals. MPCs = middle-aged patients with cancer. OPs = older patients without a diagnosis of cancer. OPCs = older patients with cancer.
