Accepting that there is a 5% chance that association is just a statistical fluke, the odds ration vary from 1.27 (nearly no effect) to 4.16 (a very strong association).

The range does not cross one so they are statistically valid at the 95% confidence level.

Vascular disease prevalence in women varies with age, relatively low pre menopause, becoming very common after menopause becoming the most common cause of death in senior women.

The fact that all weren't HPV positive is not surprising. Even if HPV doubled risk, you would still expect a significant portion to be HPV negative.

Well thank you very much.

I find the timing of this finding interesting with all the Gardasil spin and hoopla. I am quite sure they will find many other viruses responsible for our ailments. Me, I just want to see my kid through college and maybe peek at a grandchild or two. After that, let the cards fall where they may!

Nice screen name Doc!
