INTERPRETATION

Candida/Yeast problems almost certainly present if score higher than 180

for women or 140 for men.

Candida/Yeast problems are probably present if score is 120 to 180 for

women and 90 to 140 for men.

Candida/Yeast problems are possibly present if score is 60 to 119 for

women and 40 to 89 for men.

Candida/Yeast problems are less likely if score is below 60 for women and

below 40 for men.
