Association between serum immunoglobulins and prevalent pneumonia.
| N events/total | Odds Ratio (95% Confidence Interval) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Model 1 | Model 2 | Model 3 | ||
| IgA | 43/8,765 | 1.16 (0.93-1.43) | 1.18 (0.95-1.46) | 1.18 (0.94-1.47) |
| IgG | 43/8,755 | 1.01 (0.89-1.14) | 1.02 (0.90-1.15) | 1.03 (0.91-1.16) |
| IgM | 43/8,761 | 1.03 (0.84-1.27) | 1.04 (0.85-1.27) | 1.03 (0.83-1.28) |
Model 1 was adjusted for age and sex; Model 2 was adjusted for model 1, smoking status, pack years, and alcohol consumption; Model 3 was adjusted for model 2, BMI, DM, asthma, COPD, hypertension, physical activity, and serum CRP.
N events/total refers to the number of participants with prevalent pneumonia and the total number of participants included in the analyses.
IgA/IgG/IgM, immunoglobulin A/G/M; BMI, body mass index; DM, diabetes mellitus; COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; CRP, C-reactive protein.
