Abbreviation: OR, odds ratio.
Calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared.
For overall accuracy, ORs more than 1 indicate higher accuracy and ORs less than 1 indicate lower accuracy. For false positive rate and false negative rate, ORs more than 1 indicate greater odds of false positives (or false negatives) and ORs less than 1 indicate lower odds of false positives (or false negatives).
