11.28 Smelling and mortality A recent study (Pinto et al., Olfactory Dysfunction Predicts 5-Year Mortality in Older Adults. PLoS ONE 9(10):e107541, 2014)

mentions that anosmic (those with almost no sense of smell) older adults had more than three times the odds of death over a 5-year span compared to normosmic

(those with normal smell) individuals. Does this imply that anosmic older adults were more than three times as likely to die over the next 5 years than normosmic ones?

Explain.
