Answer parts a and b please


Question 5. Researchers wanted to know whether body mass index increases risk of distant recurrence of<br>breast cancer and conducted a study a study among 1,360 women age <60 years with breast cancer. The<br>figure below presents the relative risks and 95% confidence intervals for distant recurrence by body mass<br>index. Use the figure to answer the questions below. Assume that the reference group is a BMI of 18.5 kg/m2<br>and that the other categories represent 19, 21, 23, 24, 27, and 33 kg/m?.<br>15<br>20<br>25<br>30<br>35<br>Body Mass Index<br>Estimate for sextiles<br>H 95% CI<br>a. Interpret the first and the last relative risk and 95% confidence interval. (Be specific.)<br>b. Based on the data in this figure, what do you conclude about the association of body mass index with<br>distant recurrence of breast cancer?<br>
