Card 9 / 10: How would you interpret the odds ratio of 3.1 for the association of coffee consumption of > 8 cups a day with acute lymphocytic leukemia?
Answer:
The OR is interpreted like a relative risk. You would interpret this OR as meaning that a woman who consumes more than 8 cups of coffee per day during pregnancy is 3.1 times as likely to have a child who will be diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL).
