You have been given the following data from a cohort study of patients who were hospitalized following a motor vehicle collision. Then, check whether confounding or effect modification by age is present. The calculate the stratum-specific (age-specific) measures of association for the above problem. Interpret the results of the study presented in the problems above. Confounding is present; age causes the crude measure of association to be overestimated. Being male increases the risk of hospitalization among younger persons (under age 40), but male sex does not increase the risk of hospitalization among older persons (>=age 40).
