Know the difference between types of life table
•Cohort
•Static
Static life table: it display the present probability of mortality. (for individuals of various ages in the present year). Static life table involves recording the age at death of a huge number of people. It is necessary to evaluate the age at which people dies.
Cohort life table: it displays the probability of mortality from a specified cohort (birth year) over their period of lifetime. The table is created using the data gathered from a huge number of individuals who were born at same time & keeps a record of all of them, starting from their birth to death.
Both tables are used to calculate the survival patterns in a population.
Hope the answer helps.
When studying population growth dynamics, when is it more appropriate to use a static life table rather than a cohort life table?
Describe cohort, static, and age distribution life tables. Which are most commonly used and why? How could life table data, in combination with a fecundity schedule, be used to determine the per capita rate of increase (r) of a population exhibiting iteroparity? You must describe, step by step, how you would take hypothetical data from a raw table of survivorship and age specific fertility rates to the per capita rate of increase.
What is the difference between a nested case control and a case-cohort study?
Explain the difference between static and non-static local variables. When should a static local variable be used?
Distinguish between social and behavioral epidemiology. Formulate a hypothetical cohort study of the relationship between stressful life events and adverse mental health outcomes. Be sure to include the impact of positive and negative life events.

What is the difference in age period and cohort effects? Explain the effects and give an example of each. What is the difference between manifest and latent functions? Explain the concepts and give an example of each. Briefly discuss how social conflict paradigm might explain social class differences in health.
