Two cities each had a population of 1,000,000 in 2010, with the same number of lung cancer-related deaths occurring in the year. Although the prevalence of smoking was 40% for each city, the number of all-cause deaths in Jones Country was a third of that for Bryanville. If the number of all-cause deaths in Jones Country was 50 with 8% of them associated with lung cancer. What is the proportionate mortality ratio for lung cancer deaths for Jones Country (compared) to Bryanville? Answer to 1 decimal place

The term Asian American refers to people of Asian descent who trace their roots to more than 20 different countries in Asia, including Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. Given below are the leading causes of death for Asian Americans and other minority groups in the U.S. With this data, compare the leading causes of deaths of Filipinos and answer the following questions. 1. Is race/ethnicity a significant factor affecting these populations’ mortality? Howso? 2. What other considerations should be included in the discussion of the leadingcauses of deaths for these populations?
Mortality due to lung cancer was followed in groups of males in the UnitedKingdom for 50 years. Figure 20–3 shows the cumulative risk of dying from lung cancer as a function of age and smoking habits for four groups of males: those who never smoked, those who stopped at age 30, those who stopped at age 50, and those who continued to smoke. These data show clearly that individuals can substantially reduce their cumulative risk of dying from lung cancer by stopping smoking. What do you suppose is the biological basis for this observation?
In 2011, the city of Calgary had 1,096,833 people living within the city limits. Since then, there have been 230,000 births and 200,000 deaths. A total of 140,000 people moved to Calgary from other cities or countries, while only 10,000 people moved away from Calgary. How did the population of Calgary change since 2011? Express your answer using scientific notation in the form of x.yz x 10d people. Answer Answer Answer Answer x y z d
If the risk of a particular type of cancer is expressed as 32 excess fatalities per 10,000 per Sv, how many excess fatalities would we expect in a poppulation of 3,000 exposed to 400mSv?
In this fictitious example of a cohort study, we found that in a factory of 3,000 workers, 1,000 workers were exposed to toxic substances, and 2,000 were not. During the study period, 800 of the exposed workers developed some type of lung disease, and only 40 of the non-exposed workers developed a lung disease. C. What is the incidence of lung disease in exposed workers that can be attributed to being exposed to asbestos? Use the already rounded off answers in the previous items when computing and answer should be in whole numbers. D. What is the proportion of the total incidence of lung disease in those exposed workers that is attributable to asbestos? Use the already rounded off answers in the previous items when computing and answer should be in whole numbers.
Look at the question here, ____ Suppose a study looking at the association between smoking and bladder cancer found an odds ratio = 2.4. What would be the best way to interpret this? (Select one answer.) Smokers are 140% times as likely to develop bladder cancer compared to non-smokers. People with bladder cancer are about 40% more likely to be smokers compared to people who don't have bladder cancer. Smokers have a 2.4 % more risk of bladder cancer compared to nonsmokers. Smokers have 2.4 times the risk of developing bladder cancer compared to non-smokers..?
