Is there an approach to analyzing the trend in odds ratios across the
ordered levels of a 3rd variable?  For example,

Suppose I have the risk of obesity in high school students by gender
over three different grades:

Grade  OR
10  1.5
11  1.9
12  2.2

There is a test of homogeneity to determine whether these ORs differ
across grade strata.  Is there a test to determine whether the pattern
is linear across strata?

Are you looking for something other than -tabodds-?
