Although an extended Cox model can accommodate a time- varying covariate, the Cox framework has certain limitations in the context of endogenous or continuous time-varying covariates or time-varying covariates measured with error. The objective of this thesis is to estimate the association between longitudinal trajectories of gait speed and survival time and to compare estimates of association from separate models (i.e., mixed-effects models and Cox models) and joint models. 000002755 540__ $$fCC BY 000002755 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000002755 650__ $$aDiet$$017776 000002755 650__ $$aProstatic Neoplasms$$024731 000002755 650__ $$aInflammation$$020800 000002755 650__ $$aProstate$$024727 000002755 650__ $$aOsteoporotic Fractures$$039374 000002755 650__ $$aWalking Speed$$012095 000002755 650__ $$aProportional Hazards Models$$028820 000002755 650__ $$aAged$$014351 000002755 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000002755 692__ $$aDepartment of Public Health and Preventive Medicine$$041444 000002755 7001_ $$aHolzhammer, Brittany$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000002755 7201_ $$aLapidus, Jodi$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor$$eMentor 000002755 8564_ $$96eadf891-4ba4-4660-b57f-d447933f0527$$s1542278$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/2755/files/3505_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$2eea290403d396fca8fa1b80f93f1414b$$31 000002755 905__ $$a/rest/prod/vx/02/1f/26/vx021f260 000002755 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:2755$$pstudent-work 000002755 956__ $$aGet Accessible Copy$$uhttps://ohsu.libwizard.com/f/requestaccessibledocument 000002755 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
