Table 2 OR obtained in all subjects with AHR (PD 20 < 2400 μg) and in those with only moderate/severe (PD 20 400 μg) or borderline AHR (PD 20 > 400 μg) in comparison to subjects with normal reactivity

From: Obesity can influence children’s and adolescents’ airway hyperresponsiveness differently

 

All AHR subjects (PD20< 2400 μg)

Subjects with moderate/severe AHR (PD20< 400 μg)

Subjects with borderline AHR (PD20>400 μg)

  1. Five different logistic regression models (respectively for overall, males, females, children and adolescents) were applied and corrected for sex (where appropriate), age, smoking habits, FEV1, FVC and seasons. Odd ratios were also calculated in subjects with moderate/severe and borderline AHR. Underweight, overweight and obese subjects were compared to those with normal weight. Statistically significant values are in bold.
