Data are presented as odds ratio (95% confidence interval).

a

Univariate analysis is performed with the use of a generalized‐estimating‐equation model to address clustering of data.

b

Multivariate analysis includes all past and present risk factors, adjusted for age, sex, socioeconomic region, urban or rural location, and region×location interaction.
