2. Fig 1
Association between the use of bleach (ever) and atopy by country. OR and 95% CI, adjusted within countries for study center, sex, age, smoking status, family history of allergic disease, and number of siblings, are shown. The size of each square is proportional to the reciprocal of the variance of the estimate for the country. The diamond indicates 95% CI of the combined OR from the model, with country as the random effect (P = .20, test for heterogeneity). Countries are ranked from high (top) to low (bottom) by the frequency of bleach use (percentages indicated between brackets). UK, United Kingdom.
