- Use the data in the Table 3.1 below to answer the following questions:
Table 3.1 Death rates from lung cancer, per 1,000 people aged 35 or older/year
|
Death rates per 1000 |
|
|
Cigarette smokers |
0.96 |
|
Nonsmokers |
0.07 |
- Compute the relative risk of smokers versus nonsmokers
- Explain your answer to (A) above in narrative form.
- Compute the risk difference for smokers (Note: the rates are already expressed per 1000 so you do not need to multiply or divide your answer per 1000. Your answer can simply be stated per 1000).
- Explain your answer to (C) above in narrative form.
Homework Answers
SOLUTION:
A.
The relative risk of smokers versus nonsmokers = 0.96/0.07 =
13.71
B.
The risk of dying in 35 + year old peoples increases 13.71 times in ease of cigarette smokers as compared to non-smokers.
C.
The risk difference for smokers = 0.96 – 0.07 = 0.89

To test this apparent association, numerous epidemiologic studies were undertaken between 1930 and 1960. Two studies were conducted by Richard Doll and Austin Bradford Hill in Great Britain The first was a case-control study begun in 1947 comparing the smoking habits of lung cancer patients with the smoking habits of other patients.
