Odds ratios and 95% CI of feline hyperthyroidism associated with a 10 ng/g lipid increase in serum concentration of PBDE and PCB congeners. Odds ratios were determined by logistic regression analysis of the relationship between serum concentrations of individual PBDE or PCB congeners and feline hyperthyroidism, controlling for age of feline study participants. Error bars represent the 95% confidence interval. An odds ratio that is significantly greater than one indicates that an increase in the serum concentration of the specific congener is associated with increased odds of having feline hyperthyroidism. *indicates a p-value ≤0.050
