Adjusting for Sex in Logistic Regression Model

[Victoria Limon]

Hello,

How do you adjust for sex in a logistic regression? By adding the variable to the model is it already adjusted for or is there some other method I need to follow?
Also, if my sex variable is coded as 1=male and 2=female, do I need to recode it as 0=male and 1=female in order to adjust for it?

I am currently using the following command:

 logistic depression curmetsyn agenew sex curdiabetic curdrnk

Thank you in advance!

By most common usage, I think that you "adjust for" a factor by including it as a predictor in a regression model. For your second question, include it as a factor variable:

logistic depression curmetsyn agenew i.sex curdiabetic curdrnk

Do likewise with any of the other predictors that are categorical.
