Measures of additive interaction

  

 Relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI) = 0.63 (95 % CI: -1.48 − 2.75)

 Attributable proportion due to interaction (AP) = 0.16 (95 % CI: -0.31 − 0.62)

 Synergy index (S) = 1.26 (95 % CI: 0.59 − 2.68)

  1. *Adjusted for sex, age, region of residence, and caffeine intake.
  2. Statistically significant when the 95 % CI of RERI > 0, the 95 % CI of AP > 0, or the 95 % CI of S > 1, indicating additive interaction.
