The following ORs are reported for several hypothetical examples. Give you interpretation of the results, assuming all results a

re statistically significant unless otherwise specified.
a.OR (low-fat diet and colon cancer) = 0.6

b.OR (aerobic exercise and dental caries) = 1.0 (not significant)

c.OR (exposure to side-stream cigarette smoke and lung cancer) = 1.3

d.OR (infectious disease of the pelvis and ectopic pregnancy) = 3.0

Is one of these ORs larger in terms of the magnitude of the relationship between the exposure and outcome? Explain.

OR = 2.0
OR = 0.5

Solution:

Interpretation of “Odds Ratio” (OR) :

OR = 1.0; OR = 0.5; OR = 2.0

Odds ratio can effectively measure the “association between frequency of exposure and health outcome” in statistically significant sample.

Hence when OR = 1.0, it denotes that “absence of any association” among the exposure and disease incidence/health outcome.

When OR = 0.5, it signifies that the “exposure is actually having a protective effect” on health outcome/disease incidence.

When OR = 2.0, Value above 1.0 indicates “positive association existing between disease incidence/health outcome and the exposure”. The OR value 2.0 denotes the disease incidence/health outcome will be twice higher in exposed individuals.

A.

OR=+0.6 for relationship between low fat diet-colon cancer

OR = 0.6, For values less than 1 and above 0.5 it signifies that the “exposure is actually having a protective effect” on health outcome/disease incidence.

B.

OR = +1 for relationship between aerobic exercise -dental caries

when OR = 1.0, it denotes that “absence of any association” between the exposure and disease incidence/health outcome

C.

OR = +1.3 for relationship between exposure to passive cigarette smoking -lung cancer

OR = 1.3, Value above 1.0 indicates “positive association existing between disease incidence/health outcome and the exposure

D.

OR = +3.0 for relationship between pelvis infectious disease- ectopic pregnancy

OR = 3.0, Value above 1.0 indicates “positive association existing between disease incidence/health outcome and the exposure”.

You see an entire pond, with the same plant across most of it. The plant seems to be surviving very well. Which adaptation does
faust18 [17]

Answer: One advantage is, well, the water. There’s plenty of it and it’s all around. Therefore, most aquatic plants do not need adaptations for absorbing, transporting, and conserving water. They can save energy and matter by not growing extensive root systems, vascular tissues, or thick cuticles on leaves. Support is also less of a problem because of the buoyancy of water. As a result, adaptations such as strong woody stems and deep anchoring roots are not necessary for most aquatic plants.
