Behavioral risk factors and psychophysical conditions of the population observed in the evaluation study of the Dedalo project: adjusted (by sex and age classes) logistic multivariate model for the chance to participate to Dedalo

95% CI are statistically significant for smoking habits (current smokers), sugar intake (one or more sugar drink glasses per week), lower life satisfaction, number of unhealthy days in the last month for psychological conditions, self-reported diseases (myocardial infarction)
CI confidence interval, OR odds ratio
aModel was adjusted for sex and age classes and include the following variables, with low collinearity: smoke habits, sugar drinks consumption, life satisfaction, unhealthy days for mental distress, diagnosticated myocardial infarction and heart diseases
b Life satisfaction was measured with a 5-points frequency item from "highly" to "very little" (very little, little, sufficient, highly). The first two points were categorized in low satisfaction, whereas the last two in medium-high satiscation
