The crude analysis is a logistic regression model output for just one explanatory variable, and the adjusted model includes the additional variables reported for each variable in column one. Total response ethnicity ORs compare individuals who identify with that ethnicity with those who do not identify with that ethnicity. When ethnicity was in the crude and multivariable models, all eight ethnicity groupings were included. Chinese, Indian and Other Asian are subsets of Asian. Odds ratios are presented here with their 95% confidence intervals. Data were provided by Statistics New Zealand.
