Statistical Analysis
Categorical variables were described as weighted percentages accompanied by a 95% confidence interval, and their comparison was computed utilizing the chi-square test. Continuous variables were characterized by their weighted mean ± standard deviation (SD), and their comparison was calculated using a weighted linear regression model. The association between sexual behavior and HBV infection was analyzed using multivariable logistic regression models. The final model was adjusted for age, race/ethnicity, education, marital status, PIR, HIV infection, HCV infection, drug use, BMI, and smoking status. All statistical analyses were conducted by Empowerstats 2.2 and STATA 17.0. The complex survey design was represented using appropriate examination weights, and statistical significance was determined at a level of p < 0.05.
