Table 3 Pairwise analyses of odds ratios (with 95 % confidence intervals) for future classification in latent class 3 (LC3) with FM symptoms (in 1990) in twin pairs discordant for this classification (LC3 vs. LC1). Predictors are assessed from 1981

From: Predictors of fibromyalgia: a population-based twin cohort study

  1. n number of twin pairs discordant for each variable, LC3 those with many fibromyalgia symptoms, LC1 those with no or few fibromyalgia symptoms
  2. Sums of dizygotic and monozygotic pairs do not equal the sums of all discordant twin pairs, because the zygosity of some pairs remained uncertain
  3. aNumber of individuals in this category was too small for an adequate analysis
