- † Univariate logistic regression was used to evaluate crude OR. ‡ Multivariate logistic regression has been used to adjust the effect of smoking on VEGF-A levels with alcohol and meat consumption as covariates. Likewise, effect of alcohol is adjusted for smoking and meat consumption, and meat consumption is corrected for smoking and alcohol intake. * χ2 (chi square test) was used to test the level of significance. ** Never smoking, nonalcoholic and vegetarian diet is considered as reference group. OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; Adj, adjusted.
