Linear regression analyses
| Dependent variable(s) in the linear regression model | beta and p value for the smoking variable only |
|---|---|
| Smoking (unadjusted model) | beta = 0.25, p = 0.002 |
| Smoking adjusted for age, gender, caffeine consumption per day in mg, taking a tremor-inducing medication, used an asthma inhaler on the day of testing, Cumulative Illness Rating Scale score, education, number of rooms in home, white race, occupational category | beta = 0.21, p = 0.01 |
| Smoking adjusted for blood lead concentration | beta = 0.24, p = 0.009 |
| Smoking adjusted for blood harmane concentration | beta = 0.22, p = 0.019 |
| Smoking adjusted for serum p,p’-DDE concentration | beta = 0.20, p = 0.03 |
| Smoking adjusted for serum p,p’-DDT concentration | beta = 0.20, p = 0.03 |
| Smoking adjusted for serum β-hexachlorocyclohexane concentration | beta = 0.21, p = 0.03 |
| Smoking adjusted for serum oxychlordane concentration | beta = 0.21, p = 0.03 |
| Smoking adjusted for serum trans-nonachlor concentration | beta = 0.20, p = 0.03 |
| Smoking adjusted for serum dieldrin concentration | beta = 0.22, p = 0.02 |
All beta values are for the smoking variable only and not for the entire model.
