What would not be a reason for using an age-adjusted diabetes rate?
a. To calculate the percentage of patients in a clinic with diabetes
b. To eliminate the distortion caused by different underlying age distributions in different populations
c. To compare rates in different areas
d. To compare rates over time
Homework Answers
a. To calculate the percentage of patients in a clinic with diabetes.
Age-adjusted diabetes rate is a method that helps in comparing groups having diabetes with different age distributions.This method cannot be used to calculate the percentage of patients in a clinic as it is not for a specific area but is done with different populations.
Prevalence of diabetes increases with age.So differences in age cause distortion in diabetes rates comparison.Therefore age adjusted diabetes rate may be used.
Age adjusted diabetes rate compares rates in different areas like racial and ethnic groups.
It can also be used to compare rates over time that is in different years.

3. Calculating IRR(internal rate of return) We will attempt to calculate IRR for a would-be pediatrician using the following basic assumption. At age 22, the future pediatrician would start her 4 years of medical school, costing her $50,309/year. She would then complete 3 years of residency, during which she would earn an income of $60,094/year. Her salary as a pediatrician after her residency would be $181,000/year and she would work until age 65. For simplicity, we assume alternatively, she would...

In a study of 380 diabetics and nondiabetics, patients were classified as underweight, normal weight, overweight and obese according to their diabetes status. The probability of being normal weight is 0.31 and the probability of having diabetes is 0.39. If you select two individuals from the population, the probability of being diabetic and normal weight is 0.09. What is the probability that either of the two randomly selected individuals (or both) will be diabetic or normal weight? a. Pr (diabetic...

Learning Goal: To calculate average and relative reaction rates. You can measure the rate of a reaction, just like you can measure the speed a jogger runs. While a jogger would be reported to run a specific number of miles in an hour, miles/hour, a reaction is reported to form product or consume reagent in molar concentration per second, M/s. Reaction rate can be defined either as the increase in the concentration of a product per unit time or as...
