Dear Scholars,

I am currently working on HPV and cervical cancer self-reporting data.

I want to evaluate the risk values of the population using the risk factors of the diseases mentioned above.

I want to categorize the risk as low-risk or high-risk depending on the OR.

The condition is;

For high-risk using their odd ratio values conditioned that if the OR >1.

If OR < 1 then low-risk.

If OR = 1, the risk of those who are exposed or unexposed to a risk factor is similar.

Hence, It is best to say that if OR < 1 or OR = 1, then OR ≤ 1 which means low-risk.

The problem now is I have some negative coefficients for OR with logistic regression and some results from risk estimate are >1 (in some cases 3,4, 7, 32).

Please, let me know if it is possible to have a one-on-one chat with an expert to discuss the problem.

Thank you all for your help in advance.

Regards,

Melvin.
