Table 2 Significant lifestyle and dietary factors used in the multivariate analysis. The factors that were deemed to be of potential significance from the univariate analysis were further analyzed using the multivariate analysis. The odds ratio between the diabetic patients and healthy controls was compared. The 95% CI value was obtained between the cases and the control with a significant value of p (< 0.05)
