Measure of association

Question Parameters:

A researcher follows 200 women who exercise regularly

300 women who do not exercise regularly.

After 30 years of follow-up

20 of the women in the exercise group are diagnosed with osteoporosis

30 women in the non-exercise group are diagnosed with osteoporosis.

Generally we have that the odds of  appropriate measure of association.

$Odds=\frac{\frac{20}{200-20}}{\frac{30}{300-30}}$

Odds=1%

Therefore, the odds show that osteoporosis is 1% higher that none exercisers will develop osteoporosis .
