Seroprevalence figures at specific values of age and BMI were obtained by predictive margins with linearised standard errors from a logistic model. BMI, body mass index; s.d., standard deviation.
Survey design adjusted F statistics. For continuous variables (age, BMI), the P-value was obtained by the adjusted Wald test with linearised standard errors.
Survey design adjusted F statistics, multiply adjusted for sex, age, BMI, smoking habit, main activity and municipality. For continuous variables (age, BMI), the P-value was obtained by the adjusted Wald test with linearised standard errors.
Odd ratios (ORs), 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) and related adjusted P-values were obtained by linearised standard errors and logit transformation.
There were 16 missing values.
