A study (data from Efron B, et al 2004) was conducted to determine the predictors of whether participants had a low or high risk of diabetes (we'll call this variable "Y"), Data was collected on 442 diabetes patients. A multivariable logistic regression model was constructed for the outcome Y that included the predictor variables age, gender, BMI, blood pressure, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides and glucose level. The odds ratios omputed from the model parameter estimates can be seen here:

Note gender is coded as Gender=2 for female and Gender=1 for male and low risk of diabetes is
coded as 0, high risk of diabetes is coded as 1 and the model seeks to predict the high risk of
diabetes.
Do males or females have greater odds of a high risk of diabetes? Cite evidence to support your
answer and interpret the relevant results in terms of the problem at hand.
