  1. OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval.
  2. Model I only adjusted for demographic and socioeconomic characteristics (age, gender, ethnicity, family income, family structure, mother’s education level, and father’s education level).
  3. Model II adjusted for demographic and socioeconomic characteristics and, further, general chronic health problems (overweight/obesity, food/drug allergy, and gastro-oesophageal reflux).
  4. Model III adjusted for demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, general chronic health problem, and respiratory diseases (history of chronic allergic rhinitis diagnosis, upper respiratory infection, and history of hypertrophy of tonsils diagnosis) simultaneously.
