Variation between age and genotype D distribution using multinomial regression analysis.

Variable	Categories	Genotype		COR [95% CI]	AOR [95% CI]	value
		D	D/E
Age (years)	18-30	10 (16.4)	18 (29.5)	1	1
	31-40	12 (37.5)	8 (25.0)	2.7 [0.828 to 8.807]	2.178 [0.64 to 7.4]	0.213
	41-49	3 (15.0)	9 (45.0)	0.60 [0.131 to 2.738]	0.664 [0.14 to 3.18]	0.608
	≥50	9 (50.0)	2 (11.1)	8.10 [1.46 to 45.06]	9.98 [1.696 to 58.8]	0.011

Reference genotype according to the model used for analysis, COR: crude odds ratio, AOR: adjusted odds ratio; significant at 95% confidence interval.
