Nonmutually adjusted models and a mutually adjusted model with standardized betas to assess strength of significant relationship between body size variables and EHS risk

Model also adjusted for sex, age, race, time in service, and time since last height and weight measurement. An odds ratio greater than 1 indicates an increase in the odds of EHS associated with a one unit change in the model variable. An odds ratio less than 1 indicates a reduction in the odds of EHS associated with a one unit change in the model variable. BSA, body surface area (unit = 0.01 m2); BSA·mass−1, body surface area-to-mass ratio (unit = 0.01 m2/kg); BMI, body mass index, EHS, exertional heat stroke.
