Multinomial logistic regression between Heart Disease and the mixture of bisphenols quartile. Note that quartile 1 is the reference group for the statistical study model. Each of the binomial logistic regression analyses was performed in 3 different ways: individually (1); corrected for age, gender, and BMI (2); and corrected for (2) + race/ethnicity, poverty/income ratio, and serum cotinine (3).
