Hi, I am having trouble interpreting some results from SPSS.
My DV is physical function and my IV is Age.
Although there is a negative linear relationship for age and physical function (suggesting as age increases, physical function decreases)
However, the Odds Ratio for Age is 0.983 (suggesting that as Age increases, the odds of having better physical functional decreases)
These are two conflicting results which I am confused about. Have I done something wrong in my statistical tests or is it just how they've turned out? Is it possible to have two conflicting results? Unless I have interpreted one of the results wrong?
