  1. Approach: Forward Wald binary logistic regression
  2. Model summary: χ2 (17, N = 1567) = 256.12, p < 0.001. Nagelkerke R2 = 21.3%. Overall prediction success was also modest at 69.8%, with 60.0% of people with good QoL correctly classified and 77.3% of poor QoL classified
  3. * = statistic is significant at p < 0.05
