To measure the cardiovascular health of Canadians, cardiologists developed the Cardiovascular Health in Ambulatory Care Research Team

Question:

To measure the cardiovascular health of Canadians, cardiologists developed the Cardiovascular Health in Ambulatory Care Research Team (CANHEART) health index. A score of 1 is assigned for each of the following cardiovascular health factors and behaviors:1

Do not smoke

Physical activity equivalent to walking 30 minutes

per day

Consumption of 5 servings of fruit and vegetables

per day

Body mass index of less than 25

Not diabetic

Normal blood pressure (less than 140 over 90)

A score of 6 is ideal, 4 to 5 is considered to be intermediate, and a score between 0 and 3 is considered poor cardiovascular health. The scores and sex (1 = female, 2 = male) of a random sample of Canadian adults were recorded. Can we infer from the data that females are more likely to be in ideal cardiovascular health than males?
