Table 5: Final model of multiple logistic regression (Breastfeeding excluded) of factors associated with CMV seroprevalence in children 3-5 years of age in the USA.

Birthweight in gm (less 1500 vs 1500+) |

Age of child in years (4-5 vs 3) |

Cotinine Levels in ng/mL (0.05 vs 0.05+) |

In this model, when we excluded breastfeeding, cotinine levels were now clearly negatively correlated with CMV seroprevalence.
