What was the incidence rate of CHD mortality among nonsmoking women, per 1000 years of follow up? (Use Table 1 to perform this calculation)
What was the incidence rate of CHD mortality among women who were current smokers, per 1000 years of follow up? (Use Table 1 to perform this calculation)
Number of nonsmoking women sampled = 29,827 person-years
Number of CHD cases = 41
Incidence rate of CHD mortality among nonsmoking women, per 1000 years of follow up
= (41 / 29,827) * 1000 = 1.374593
Number of nonsmoking women sampled = 5114 person-years
Number of CHD cases = 17
Incidence rate of CHD mortality among women who were current smokers, per 1000 years of follow up
= (17 / 5114) * 1000 = 3.324208

Assume that there were 2,035 non-smoking women at the start of follow-up and 350 women smokers. What is the cumulative incidence of CHD mortality per 1000 persons at risk among each of these groups over the follow-up period? Over the period of the study follow-up, from 1968 – 1984, there were 58 deaths from CHD among women in the study. Were these incident deaths or prevalent deaths? Explain. TABLE 1. Relative rlsks of coronary heart dlsease (CHD) mortality accordlng to...
Among the major cardiovascular risk factors listed in Table 1, other than age, which of the remaining four risk factors was associated with the highest incidence rate for CHD mortality among women? HINT: to answer this question, you need to calculate the incidence rate for women in the highest, or most exposed, category for each of the four risk factors below age in Table 1. Towards which one of these four risk factors would you propose developing a public health...
