Decision tree analysis to assess the biological parameters and physiological functions. The biological parameters (age, sex, and body temperature) and physiological functions (hand antimicrobial activity, saliva volume, oral mucosal moisture, NK cells activity in PBMCs, and nasal mucociliary clearance) were used. The odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence interval were obtained using the cross-tabulation method.
