Odds ratios in logistic regression with 95% confidence intervals. An odds ratio greater than 1 indicates that the diagnosis is more common among sensitized subjects or subjects aged 9 years. A confidence interval not containing 1 indicates that the explanatory variable has a statistically significant association with the diagnosis. The bold line on the x-axis indicates an odds ratio of 1. House dust mite (HDM) sensitization (Der f/p) was more prevalent than pollen sensitization in subjects with current wheeze and asthma. Cup a 1 had the highest odds ratio for current allergic rhinitis. In terms of age, the odds ratio was well below 1 for current wheeze and current eczema, indicating that these diseases tend to lessen with age
