  1. For explanatory variables having more than two categories, the overall significance is given by their corresponding P-values
  2. The assessment made whether the required assumptions for the application of multiple logistic regression was fulfilled showed that this parsimonious model adequately fits the data as P=0.551 (by using Hosmer and Lemeshow test)
