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”.

Identify reactions in this equation 2KCIO3(s)-2KCI (s)+ 3O2 (g) A 2KCIO3 B 2KCI and 3O2 C 2KCI D there are no reactants
Delicious77 [7]
Finding the reactions in the equation 2KCIO3(s)-2KCI (s)+ 3O2 (g) A 2KCIO3 B 2KCI and 3O2 C 2KCI D.....well first look for the synthesis reactions which are if two different elements are one one side and a compound on the other side where the elements form....the next reaction you would look for would be the decomposition reaction.....and I still don't see this because if I did it would be the same as the synthesis reaction except it would be the other way around...sooo the compound of the elements would be on the right and when you add the elements it would be on the left side....the next reaction is the single displacement which I don't see in this example...the single displace me is when you are adding the elements not the left and on the right it's the same thing BUT the elements are in different order....and the last one is the combustion reaction which I do see....this is when there is adding element on both side.......so the reactions I see in this example is the combustion reaction.....hope it helps....:)
