Table 3. Regression coefficients (10^β), confidence intervals (CI) and levels of significance (p-value) from the five-step regression analysis of state stress exposures and AFCE.
The data are presented as 10^β representing the factor by which the mean AFCE is multiplied for each unit increase in exposure.
