Just a small niggle, but, if an event is 4000% more likely than normal, it means the likelihood has increased by a factor of 41 times (not 4000 times). A 4000% increase translates to 41 times the original risk. Therefore, it is not accurate to say it is 4000 times the risk.
Math Explanation:
Baseline Likelihood: Assume the original likelihood of the event is
x
.Increased Likelihood: A 4000% increase means the new likelihood is
x + 40x = 41x
.Therefore, if an event is 4000% more likely, it translates to being 41 times the original risk, not 4000 times.
Still an alarming statistic. We don’t even know how or if it will affect their fertility.
