I ran a logistic regression (using R) but for one of my subgroups (by Race), got a warning that the Algorithm does not converge.

When I look at my data, for 800 participants, 798 are one outcome, and 2 are the other for my independent variable.

Here is what the output looks like.

Call:
svyglm(formula = ExposureLevel ~ Chemical1 + Age + Gender + TimeofYearWinterorSummer + SmokingCotinine + PRSlevels,
        design = subsetasian, 
        family = quasibinomial)

Coefficients:
                                       Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|)    
(Intercept)                          174.785286   9.496548  18.405  < 2e-16 ***

Age                                  -10.968026   0.342395 -32.033  < 2e-16 ***

Signif. codes:  0 ‘***’ 0.001 ‘**’ 0.01 ‘*’ 0.05 ‘.’ 0.1 ‘ ’ 1

What conclusions if any can I make from these results? Suddenly all of my variables besides the chemical have a significant pvalue.

I know that Age is NOT significiantly associated with the independent variable in any of my other log regressions. But here it says it is.
