Anal intercourse associations with at least monthly fecal incontinence in multivariable models for men and women, NHANES 2009–10

	Men, n=2,100^a odds ratio (95% CI)	Women, n=2,070^a,^b odds ratio (95% CI)
Anal intercourse	2.8 (1.6–5.0)	1.5 (1.0–2.0)
Age (per decade)	1.2 (1.1–1.4)	1.5 (1.4–1.8)
Depression	3.2 (1.6–6.4)	3.5 (2.2–5.7)
Loose stool consistency	2.4 (1.4–4.0)	2.2 (1.5–3.4)

CI, confidence interval; NHANES, National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

Multivariable logistic regression models with step-wise backward elimination models controlling for age (decade categories as per Table 1), race/ethnicity, education, family income, BMI, loose stool consistency (Bristol Stool Form Scale Type 6 and 7), comorbidity count, and depression (PHQ-9 scores ≥10).

Hysterectomy and number of live births included in model for women.
