I've been using prvalue command in stata to compute risk difference (RD)
estimates with confidence intervals from a logistic model (citation:
Confidence Intervals for Predicted Outcomes in Regression Models for
Categorical Outcomes Jun Xu and J. Scott Long Indiana University August
23, 2005). I have a model with an interaction term (dichotomous x
continuous variable) and I would like to compute the RD for each level
of the continuous variable - compared to a referent value - within each
level of the dichotomous variable. For example, my continuous variable
is BMI and my categorical variable is a genetic factor (present/absent)
I want to know the RD associated with each level of BMI (compared to the
referent BMI of 21) among individuals with the genetic factor and among
individuals without the genetic factor. However, I do not know how to
get a CI when the genetic factor is present.
How do I do this?
thanks!
