  1. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for logistic regression low vs high. Pooled imputed data. All data presented as column %
  2. *Combined by multiplying fraction (0–4) and intensity (0–3) and then dichotomized (0–7 = Low, 8–12 = High). **Test for p-trend was performed, bold figures indicate p < 0.05
