Logistic models for associations of arsenic exposure with respiratory infections

N = 216	Cold infections OR (95%CI)	Throat infections OR (95%CI)
Urinary arsenic	1.25 (0.87, 1.80)	1.33 (0.92, 1.92)
Arsenic in water	0.96 (0.87, 1.05)	0.97 (0.89, 1.07)
ADI by drinking water	0.97 (0.69, 1.35)	0.90 (0.62, 1.32)

The effects for arsenic in water, and arsenic intake from water models, were estimated in general linear models and adjusted for age, sex, tobacco/smoking, and weight. The effects for urinary arsenic models were adjusted for these covariates and additionally included a random effect for community. P value cut off of 0.05 for all interpretations of significance
