Hi:

My suggestion is that you revisit Chapter 7 in the Statistics 1 class. There is a section there about Interpreting Odds Ratio that looks like it is using the same data as in your screen shot:

You can also get the transcript of the lecture by clicking the button for transcript at the lower left side of the screen under the video.

The screen shot you pasted looks like it comes directly out of this demo Print Version

Demo: Fitting a Multiple Logistic Regression Model with Categorical Predictors Using PROC LOGISTIC

in Statistics 1:

And the transcript of the explanation goes over the table.
