In a study of pancreatic cancer and consumption of soy products, we observe an odds ratio of 5.5. However, we suspect that body mass index (BMI) may confound this association. For BMI to be a confounder, which of the following are required

BMI must be evenly distributed between the exposed and the nonexposed. BMI must be associated with both pancreatic cancer and consumption of soy products use.

BMI must be a stronger risk factor for pancreatic cancer compared to consumption of soy products use.

BMI must be evenly distributed between the cases and the controls

Select the correct interpretation and reporting strategy given the stratified ORs and Crude OR.

C. [OR1 = 2.77] [OR2 = 2.33] [ORcrude = 1.45] Effect Modification and Confounding Report stratified ORs

B. [OR1 = 5.45] [OR2 = 2.33] [ORcrude = 1.45] No Effect modification and no confounding Report crude OR

A. [OR1 = 5.45 ] [OR2 = 2.33] [ORcrude = 3.36] Effect modification but No confounding Report stratified ORs

D. [OR1 = 2.77] [OR2 = 2.33] [ORcrude = 2.45] Effect Modification and Confounding Report adjust OR

Dr. Snow recently completed his study and found that diabetes leads to depression in the elderly. In his study, Dr. Snow found that alcohol is an effect modifier, with diabetics who consume alcohol having a higher risk of depression compared to diabetics who do not consume alcohol. In this study, alcohol is An antagonistic effect modifier

A causative effect modifier

Both a confounder and an effect modifier.

A synergistic effect modifier
