Abstract:

We propose a multivariate regression approach for binary variables based on
the log-mean linear link function for the response variables.
This approach has shown to provide useful insights for assessing the 
effect of
HIV-infection on multimorbidity, defined as the occurrence of co-existing
noninfectious diseases for a sample of patients deriving from a 
case-control
study. The coefficients of these regression models are log-linear 
combinations
of relative risks and we show that submodels identified by zero regression
coefficients encode relevant hypotheses for the considered application.
