  1. aAdults aged ≥16 years only (n = 472). 16–18 years for ‘adult-only’ model. Odds ratios account for the weighting of the sample to be representative of the English population in 2002 with respect to age and sex. The ‘whole population’ multivariable model included age, sex, CMV serostatus, ethnicity, BMI and region of England. The ‘adults only’ multivariable model included all variables shown in the table. aOR adjusted odds ratio, BMI body mass index, CI confidence interval, CMV cytomegalovirus, OR unadjusted odds ratio
