Question:

What is the estimated OR for hypertension comparing Hispanic vs. Caucasian boys with BMI = 25 kg/m2(call this OR3.)? 


One assumption of the model in Table 13.55 is that the association between hypertension and ethnic group would be the same for all levels of BMI. To test this assumption a third logistic model was run as presented in Table 13.56.
