Dear all,

I want to ask if I decide to report "every 5-units increase" in BMI from my logistic regression, do I need to adjust the p-value and 95% CI in the same way I did for the odds ratio (pls see the code below)? If so, can someone pls share the R code for them?

lr.fit3 <- glm(disease~ BMI, data=mydata, family=binomial)
summary(lr.fit3)
exp(lr.fit3$coefficients*5) ## odds ration for 5-unit increase in BMI
