Figure Lengend Snippet: Period prevalence of stage B2 and PH2 by age group among girls with and without allergies. Adjusted OR for PH2 association with allergies, 1.60 (CI 1.10–2.34); for B2, the adjusted ORs were null (see Table 3, GEE models). For girls with allergies, age is that at first diagnosis of allergy. Girls without allergies reported no diagnosis or medicine use at that age or prior. Girls with allergies reported diagnosis or medicine at that age or prior. Shown are all girls with allergies. Of these, most reported allergies were in the same timeframe as puberty or after puberty, B2 (108/166; 65%) and Ph2 (91/166; 55%). BCERP, 2004–2012.
