Results of regression analyses of breastfeeding pattern in La Paz.Figure 2 is an overview of independent factors associated with a number of dependent variables in the present study. For example, a stepwise backward logistic regression analysis of giving colostrum (initial analysis included 410 subjects and 12 independent variables) revealed that rural residence was associated with an odds ratio of 3.90 for discarding colostrum (p = 0.0110) (Final analysis of rural residence vs. giving colostrum was based on 501 subjects. Rural residence explained 0.0203 of the total variation in giving colostrum.) A = Initial regression model. B = Final regression model. C = Censored value. D = Dependent variable in the regression analysis. OR = Odds Ratio. Work = Gainful employment.
