Multivariate logistic regression models of association between demographic and health/health behaviors characteristics and tobacco use status
| OR (95% CI)* | |
|---|---|
| Demographic variables | |
| Age (years) | 0.97 (0.95–1.00) |
| Marital status | |
| Married or living with a partner | Ref |
| Single (never married, widowed) | 1.06 (0.64–1.74) |
| Education (some college or higher) | |
| Some college or higher | Ref |
| Less than high school | 4.68 (2.23–9.81) |
| Income | |
| >$75,000 | Ref |
| ≤$75,000 | 1.81 (1.07–3.05) |
| Health/health behaviors | |
| BMI (kg/m2) | 1.05 (1.00–1.12) |
| Binge drinking | 1.79 (1.09–2.92) |
| Potential problem drinking | 1.89 (1.11–3.23) |
Note:
ORs >1.0 indicate increased odds for those who used tobacco to fall into a lower category of each variable (i.e., not married, less income, no binge drinking).
