Table summary
This table displays the results of Adjusted odds ratios relating increase in ambient summer ultraviolet radiation (UVR) Z-score to protective behaviour. The information is grouped by Protective behaviour (appearing as row headers), Total, Men, Women, Adjusted odds ratio and 95% confidence interval, calculated using from and to units of measure (appearing as column headers).
