Multiple logistic regression for main predictors of high allergen index^* in home dust samples from Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico

^*For overall allergen exposure, we assessed how many allergens exceeded detection limits and allergen-specific thresholds for detectable levels in each home. Exposure to multiple allergens in the home was dichotomized to reflect high (four or more allergens exceeding detectable levels) versus low medium levels (zero to three allergens exceeding detectable levels).
