Multivariate logistic regression analyses for the association of hypertension with secondhand smoke exposure in never-smokers.
| Cases of Hypertension a | Odds Ratios (95% Confidence Interval) | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Age-Adjusted | Multivariate | ||
| Overall b | |||
| SHS exposure (−) | 4222/83,103 (5.1) | 1 | 1 |
| SHS exposure (+) c | 1533/22,974 (6.7) | 1.23 (1.16, 1.31) | 1.16 (1.08, 1.24) |
| Males | |||
| SHS exposure (−) | 2434/24,019 (10.1) | 1 | 1 |
| SHS exposure (+) c | 990/8532 (11.6) | 1.20 (1.11, 1.30) | 1.14 (1.05, 1.24) |
| Females | |||
| SHS exposure (−) | 1788/59,084 (3.0) | 1 | 1 |
| SHS exposure (+) c | 543/14,442 (3.8) | 1.25 (1.12, 1.39) | 1.15 (1.02, 1.30) |
a Values are expressed as n/N (%), where n is number of cases with a given variable and N is total number considered for that variable. b Models adjusted for sex in overall population. c Reference group is group without SHS exposure. Multivariate model was adjusted for age, waist circumference, body mass index, frequency of alcohol drinking, frequency of vigorous exercise, glucose, creatinine, uric acid, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein. SHS, secondhand smoke.
