Risk reduction presented as OR and 95% CIs for cancer inclusive death

Cancer OR 95% CIs
Summarised risk points in the health profile
 Low-risk vs high-risk group 0.34 0.17 to 0.70
 Middle-risk vs high-risk group 0.78 0.48 to 1.28
Lifestyle risk factors
 Low-risk vs high-risk group 0.55 0.28 to 1.07
 Middle-risk vs high-risk group 0.62 0.37 to 1.02
Biological risk factors
 Low-risk vs high-risk group 0.37 0.18 to 0.79
 Middle-risk vs high-risk group 0.67 0.34 to 1.32

The data are presented as comparisons between different groups, according to summarised selected risk points (lifestyle plus biological risk factors) in the health profile (low-risk 9–14, middle-risk 15–18 and high-risk group 19–29 risk points), summarised lifestyle or biological risk markers (low-risk 3–5, middle-risk 6–8 and least favourable group 9–14 risk points).

If the CI includes 1.0, then the risk reduction or increase is not statistically significant.
