Hair color	1.00	0.41 (0.18–0.94)	0.50 (.21–1.17)
	value	.035	.109
Eye color	1.00	0.34 (0.09–1.24)	0.48 (.12–1.91)
	value	.102	.300
ABO blood type	1.00	1.00 (0.43–2.36)	0.92 (.38–2.21)
	value	.997	.851
Rh blood type	1.00	0.93 (0.17–5.01)	2.51 (.25–25.40)

	value	.437	.286

¹Results are reported as odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) and value. ²Independent variables included in the model are hair color (black vs. nonblack), eye color (brown vs. nonbrown), ABO blood type (O vs. others), Rh blood type (positive vs. negative) and age (continuous). ³Used as reference group.
