 Prevalence of COPD and outcome of logistic regression analysis for subpopulation of non-smoking women in urban Liwang and rural Yunyan*

COPD n (%)Crude OR (95% CI)p ValueAdjusted OR (95% CI)p Value
ETS, environmental tobacco smoke; BMI, body mass index; LPG, liquid petroleum gas.
*Data of 1089 participants were analysed and are shown as number (%) of observations and OR (95% CI).
†These variables were included in the multivariate logistic regression model.
‡Fuel type and local exhaust ventilation in kitchen excluded from multivariate model because they were collinear with urban/rural residence.
