Strength of 1002 statistically significant relative risks and odds ratios reported in NHS publications.
Associations with an odds ratio (OR) or relative risk (RR) of ≤0.25 or ≥4 were considered strong, those with OR/RR of 0.25–0.5 or 2–4 were considered moderate, and those with OR/RR of 0.5–2 were considered weak.
