1. Obtain the crude OR estimate, and provide a 95% CI for the crude OR?

2. Test the null hypothesis of no association between aspirin assignment and CVD?

Cardiovascular Disease

The Women€™s Health Study randomly assigned 39,876 initially healthy women ages 45 years or older to receive either 100 mg of aspirin on alternate days or placebo and monitored them for 10 years for a major cardiovascular event [52]. Table 13.60 shows the results stratified by age at randomization.

Use logistic regression methods to characterize the relationship between aspirin assignment and the odds of CVD, by doing the following.
