Subjects were separated into the following groups according to their BMI: (a) normal weight, (b) slightly overweight, (c) moderately overweight and (d) greatly overweight. 57,145 deaths from cancer occurred in the population during the follow-up period. using this data, Yummy and Curtis obtained the following results for men and women when the heaviest members of the cohort were compared to those with normal weight: Men: Relative risk ratio of cancer death = 1.5 95% confidence interval = 1.1-2.1; Women: Relative risk ratio of cancer death = 1.6 95% confidence interval = 1.4-1.9 Which of the following best represents the interpretation of the risk ratio given for the men?
