Notes for logistic regression results: The level of the variable given represents the value of the variable, which is also the level the variable hypothesized to be associated with increased risk. Confidence Intervals that do not cross the value 1.00 indicate increased (if CI ranges above 1.00) or reduced (if CI ranges below 1.00) risk for the reference value of the variable. Degrees of freedom for the overall models are as follows: Model 1 (8, N=4069), Model 2: (5, N=4481), Model 3: (5, N=3089).
