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

3 0

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”.

What are some abiotic factors that might effect some biotic factors
Stels [109]

Answer:    An abiotic factor is a non-living factor that influences and resides in an environment. So, things like weather, temperature, and humidity are considered abiotic factors, while things like predators are considered biotic factors.

What are the advantages of being a respiratory parasite (the tongue worms) over one in the digestive system (if any)?
Nata [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The parasites living at the respiratory system or tongue worms will hide under the soft tissues of the oral cavity, beneath the tongue and even beneath the throat or esophagus. These worms remain undetected during diagnosis. These worms are not subjected to the treatment of acids which worms in the digestive system are exposed to. Thus these worm parasites in the respiratory system or tongue survive comparatively for long as compared to the worms in the digestive system.
