Cluster* | Case / Controls | MV OR (95% CI )** |
---|---|---|
1 Low antibody levels to commensal oral bacteria |
192/229 | 1.0 (referent) |
2 High antibody levels to commensal oral bacteria |
212/187 | 0.55 (0.36–0.83) |
For more details on cluster analysis approach, refer to Supplemental Methods.
Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were obtained using conditional logistic regression (cases were matched to controls on center, sex, follow-up time, age at blood collection, date and time of blood collection, fasting status and use of exogenous hormones among women) and adjusting for BMI and smoking status.
