that refers to what?

Suzanne Garland: Well we believe it's around 5% to 10%.

Norman Swan: So it drops dramatically.

Suzanne Garland: It drops dramatically indeed and if we find it in a woman over 30 that tends to tally more with a chronic infection but I mean this is one of the reasons we're doing this study to get some base line for Australia.

My question:
what does that refer to?

Thanks in advance!Amazon_CLS_IM_END>

Hi, The fact that we find it in a woman over 30. The final, raher rambling sentence here is typical of casual speech, where the speaker starts speaking without a clear idea of how she wants to form the sentence. She is thinking while she is speaking, and the sentence follows her thoughts.
