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”.

PLEASE HELP! In this simulation, the masses of the planets were all the same. Do you think if the masses of the planets were dif
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

It would certainly make a difference.

Explanation:

The mass of a planet determines how thick the planets atmosphere would be, if it can even sustain an atmosphere. If all the masses are the same, all of the large planets would not be able to sustain life, while all of the smaller, denser planets still have a chance.

The mass of a planet also affects it’s gravitational pull. If all of the planets had the same mass, they would all have the same gravitational pull, meaning that they would all attract the same amount of asteroids, meteors, and other spacial objects.

Overall, the simulation would certainly be different, for many, many reasons. The above are only two, and if you would like more, just add a comment and I can give you more.
