      Stupid hacks sensationalising statistics that they don't understand!

      Using the relative/proportional risk increase to illustrate the affect of x on incidence of disease y in these situations where the original risk is tiny is a nonsense.

      For example, overall risk of developing disease is 1 in 210 or about 0.5%
      Average height of US male = 5' 10''
      Risk of developing disease of 6' male = 0.5%
      6'2'' male = 0.6%
      6'4'' male = 0.7%

      i.e. still tiny.

      Even if you're a 9' giant it's still only 1.7%



      (assumes relative risk increases are not compounding)
      It's about time I changed this sig...

        Yes, we know, but you should never let facts get in the way of playing with your balls.

        Anyway, Spod's about 11 foot tall.
        And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

          1 in 200 is still a lot though. The same affect isn't seen in tall women, except in 100m runners and shot-putters, often Russian.
