Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio.

a Odds ratios were adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, highest parental education level, and study center, except when it was the variable of interest.

b P value for interaction was derived from the −2 log likelihood estimate from multivariate analyses.
