OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; df, degree of freedom; NS, Non-significance. Income and location were included in the final model based on the significant level (p<0.25) from the univariate test but were found not significant. They were removed from the last step in the final model due to non-significance thus providing no detailed values.
