*OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; NS, variable did not meet criterion for remaining in the multivariate model. †OR >1 for region central or region south indicates a higher probability than the north region. ‡OR >1 for higher quintile (4 and 5) indicates a higher probability than those in the lower quintile (1, 2, and 3). §Predictor variables with a p = 0.10 in univariate analysis were included in the multivariate model to adjust for these simultaneously. ¶p value for Wald F statistic for the adjusted OR.
