Odds ratios and confidence intervals for cardiovascular disorders between exposed and unexposed residents.

Exposed N(%) or mean ± s.d. Unexposed N(%) or mean ± s.d. Odds Ratio 95% Confidence Interval P-value
Heart Disease* 5 (6.17) 4 (3.10) 1.80 0.33, 9.66 0.50
Acute Myocardial Infarction * 3 (3.57) 3 (2.33) 2.11 0.17, 25.93 0.56

Chest tightness** 3.74 ± 2.82 1.92 ± 1.54 5.97 3.13, 11.40 >0.0001
Palpitations** 3.03 ± 2.69 2.35 ± 1.98 1.64 0.87, 3.07 0.12
Pain in Chest** 3.42 ± 2.88 1.73 ± 1.65 4.24 2.21, 8.14 <0.0001

*Odds ratio and confidence intervals are estimated using logistic regression

** Odds ratio and confidence intervals are estimated using multinomial logistic regression models with generalized estimating equations (GEE); odds ratio interpreted as the odds of exposed being in a higher category compared to unexposed. Respondents were asked to "score each question on a scale of 1 – 11, one representing never and 11 representing always.

Controlled for age, gender, race/ethnicity, education and smoking history
