Table 3 Relation between migraine and C. pneumoniae IgG antibodies as determined by multiple regression analysis logistic

Study factor	β	SE	Wald	P	OR	95% CI
Body mass index (kg/m²)	−0.153	0.062	6.097	0.014	0.858	0.760–0.969
Smoking, N (%) (>5 years, >15 packs/month)	0.526	0.209	6.344	0.012	1.692	1.124–2.547
Pickle (>3 years, >30 g/day)	1.699	0.209	66.128	0.000	5.469	3.631–8.237
C. pneumoniae IgG	1.223	0.178	47.066	0.000	3.397	2.395–4.817

For each additional unit of body weight index, the risk of an occurrence of migraine increases 0.166 times; risk for the smokers who are likely to suffer from migraine is 1.692 times that of non-smokers; the risk for the people who are fond of pickle is 5.469 times than that of the group who prefer for fresh vegetables; the risk of the Cp-positive persons is 3.397 times than that of the Cp-negative
