Table 3.

Effect of the exposure condition and confounding variables on perceived symptomatology and genotoxicity biomarkers in subjects occupationally (n = 47) and non-occupationally (n = 53) exposed to pesticides from the Córdoba province. Only statistical significant results (p < 0.05) are shown.

Predictor variable: exposure condition (NOE subjects = 0; OE subjects = 1).

Predictor variables: exposure condition, age, BMI (normal = 1; overweight = 2; obesity = 3), cholesterol and triglycerides levels, AChE and BChE activity, educational level (elementary = 1; middle = 2; high school = 3; university = 4), marital status (married = 1; divorced or separated = 2; widower = 3; single = 4), presence of asthma and allergies (no = 0; yes = 1) and the concentration of pesticides.
