In adolescent females, African American race (OR 2.49) and diapering or feeding young children in the home (OR 1.24) were significantly associated with increased odds of CMV seropositivity.

Stadler et al. (2012) conducted a cross-sectional in Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection (n=1,585). African American race vs. White (Non-Hispanic) race was evaluated on CMV seropositivity (OR 2.49, 95% CI 1.83-3.38, p=<0.0001). In adolescent females, African American race (OR 2.49) and diapering or feeding young children in the home (OR 1.24) were significantly associated with increased odds of CMV seropositivity.
