The following are risk factors for CHD events, namely fat intake, smoker status (0: nonsmokers,
1: heavy smokers), habitual OR (0: never OR, 1: routine OR), blood sugar and cholesterol. Perform
an analysis to find out the risk factors that affect the incidence of CHD.
Solution
From the graph above, P = 0.000 < 0.05. This means there is a significant relationship between
the independent variables (Fat intake, status of smoking, physical activity / OR habits, blood
sugar and cholesterol) and the dependent variable (Coronary Heart Disease)
Classification Tablea

Case of CHD Percentage
Sick Not sick Correct
Sick 7 15 31.8
Case of CHD
Step 1 Not sick 2 60 96.8
Explanation
The independent variables in the model are 79.8% correct to explain the cases for Coronary Heart
Disease (CHD)
From the table below, there are only two significant variables (P < 0.05), and these are status of
smoking and Cholesterol.
The odds of a heavy smoker suffering from Coronary Heart disease (CHD) are 4 times more likely
than a non-smoker
Cholesterol
B = 0.045, meaning there is a positive relationship between the cholesterol content and the risk of
becoming sick from Coronary Heart Disease.
Exp(B) = 1.046, means The odds of a person having more cholesterol are 1.046 times more likely
than a person with a low cholesterol content
