Reference categories: college degree and above (highest level of education), stage I/II (derived AJCC-7 stage), high acculturation (level of acculturation), high-acculturated 20-year-old (effect of age by acculturation).
a
Age is analyzed as a continuous variable in the statistical model. Therefore, the OR for “effect of age by acculturation” represents the OR for an increase of one year in age.
CI, 95% confidence interval; OR, odds ratio.
