Odds ratios represent the adjusted relative odds of desiring return of results comparing subjects who differ only on the covariate of interest. For continuous covariates, odds ratios represent the adjusted relative odds of desiring return of results associated with a 1-point change in the covariate (or one-year increase in age). Odds ratios are derived from generalized linear mixed models that account for multiple responses per participant.
