Coefficients, OR and 95% CL

l.mod<-glm(menarche~age,binomial) you will get odds-ratios by exponentiating the coefficients of this model, so exp(coef(l.mod)) will do this job. You may notice that this will produce an "OR" for the intercept part as well - which is not interpretable. For the confidence intervals for this odds ratio you have to exponentiate the borders of the "standard" confidence intervals for the log-odds-ratios, exp(confint(l.mod)) hth.
The approach of anti-logging a coefficient only works in the simple case in which the variable is binary (or a one-unit change is of interest and the variable is linear), doesn't interact with another variable, and the reference cell desired equals the reference cell coded. Frank

Dear R-users, After running a logistic regression, I need to calculate OR by exponentiating the coefficient, and then I need the 95% CL for the OR as well. For the following example (taken from P. Dalaagard's book), what would be the most straightforward method of getting what I need? Could anyone enlight me please? Thank you! Lucho
