[QUOTE="copilost, post: 2262949, member: 510611"] Ah no! For someone of your age the additional risk of having controlled diabetes is 1.5 as this estimate has been adjusted for age. For someone of 70 the additional risk is also 1.5. Does that mean we think the risk from diabetes is the same for both groups? Short answer we don't know. To find out we would need to run additional statistical models that look for an interaction. i.e does the risk from diabetes change with age. The 1.5 is an average for all age groups, it might be the same whatever your age, it might be more for younger people or for older people, we can't say from this data. [/QUOTE]
