Adjusted Odds Ratio Interpretation

An adjusted odds ratio (AOR) of 1.5 indicates a stronger positive association between exposure and outcome relative to an AOR of 1.0. An AOR greater than 1.0 indicates higher odds of the outcome with exposure. An AOR of 1.5 indicates 50% higher odds of the outcome with exposure compared with no exposure on the odds scale.
