survey was conducted and asked, " Do you consider your health to be poor?" This was coded as 1 for "yes" and 0 for "no". The effect of age (in years) and sex (1=male, 0=female) on the outcome was examined using logistic regression. The fitted logistic model is: logit(p-hat) = -0.544 + Beta * sex + 0.0331*age
