Question

Which of the following statement is wrong based on the logistic regression model presented below.

Risk factor for hypertension

Regression Coefficient

P value

Intercept

-12.7772

0.0001

Female

1.482498

0.001

Age

1.014790

0.006

Married

1.210879

0.346

Being married is not statistically significantly associated with the development hypertension

The relative importance of female gender is comparatively higher than that of age predictor

Age is positively associated with the risk of hypertension

The adjusted odds ratio for hypertension comparing female versus male is approximately 1.48

Explanation / Answer

As we can see from the data above, we can see that the p-value of being married is 0.346 which is higher than 0.05 and hence it is statistically insignificant and also age is positively associated with the risk of hypertension. Moreover, we can also see that the relative importance of female gender is comparatively higher than that of age predictor (higher coefficient value and also lower p-value). However, we cannot conclude that the adjusted odds ratio for hypertension comparing female versus male is approximately 1.48. Hence, the correct answer is The adjusted odds ratio for hypertension comparing female versus male is approximately 1.48.

coeff p-value Intercept -12.7772 0.0001 Female 1.482498 0.001 Age 1.01479 0.006 Married 1.210879 0.346
