Results of independent logistic regression models fitted to each disease associated variable in turn, showing odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals for the variables shown to be statistically significant at the 5% level from likelihood ratio tests (p-value) with Bonferroni adjustments. Continuous (or discrete) variables are shown with a dash in the “Levels” column, with the OR corresponding to the OR per unit increase; for the categorical variables the OR is relative to the referent level, which is always shown first.
