Table 3. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models with the dependent variable ‘signs of pneumonia’.
Independent variable | Cohort | Odds ratio (95% interval) | p-value |
---|---|---|---|
Overweight/obese vs. lean | PCR (n = 165) | 2.68 (1.29–5.59) | 0.008 |
BMI as metric variable | PCR (n = 165) | 1.083 (1.014–1.155) per 1 kg/m2 | 0.017 |
Overweight/obese vs. lean | PCR + AB (n = 201) | 2.32 (1.16–4.64) | 0.017 |
Overweight/obese vs. lean with adjustment for age group, sex, pulmonary and psychiatric disease | PCR (n = 165) | 2.33 (1.06–5.12) | 0.036 |
PCR: participants with a diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection by PCR.
AB: participants with a retrospective diagnosis by antibody testing.
