IBS = Irritable Bowel Syndrome; OR = Odds Ratio; CI = Confidence Interval; SD = Standard Deviation
Variables not included in this table include, history of cancer, postmenopausal, tobacco use, oophorectomy because statistical significance of each was p>0.2 in univariate analysis
Based on a multivariate logistic regression model that included all variables shown in the table with p-values that remained less than 0.20 after adjustment.
Odds ratio for age is reported per 5 years.
