Table 3.

SEM for predictor variables for anthrax transmission in the hotspot districts of Northern Tanzania, 2016. Results are given as the OR with 95% CI and the corresponding p-values.

variable description	age 1–20 years, OR (95% CI); p-value	age greater than 20 years, OR (95% CI); p-value
not exposed (LCA class)	OR = 1.00 (–)	1.00 (–)
exposed (LCA class)	25.0 (1.5–410); p = 0.024	3.2 (1.28–8.0); p = 0.013
no formal education	—	1.00 (–)
have formal education	—	0.23 (0.09–0.58); p = 0.002a

^aHaving formal education was a predictor for being exposed, not directly linked to skin anthrax.
