Question 9
In a case-control study examining the relationship between hypertension and myocardial infarction, there were 20,000 participants. Half of the study subjects had hypertension. Among those with hypertension, 180 had a myocardial infarction. Among those who did not have hypertension, only 30 had a myocardial infarction. When you set up the two by two table, what is d?

Question 12
A five-year study was conducted to examine the relationship between dark chocolate consumption and heart disease. Participants were assessed each year. Those who ate dark chocolate contributed a total of 15,000 person-years, while those who did not eat dark chocolate contributed 20,000 person-years. 300 of those who ate dark chocolate developed heart disease, while 700 of those who did not eat dark chocolate developed heart disease. What is the rate ratio?
Those who ate dark chocolate had 0.43 times the risk of developing heart disease compared to those who did not. |
||
Those who ate dark chocolate had 0.32 times the risk of developing heart disease compared to those who did not. |

Those who ate dark chocolate had 1.75 times the risk of developing heart disease compared to those who did not. |

Those who ate dark chocolate had 3.11 times the risk of developing heart disease compared to those who did not. |

In a cohort study exploring the relationship between acute myocardial infarction and hypertension, the study investigators enrolled 10,000 people with hypertension and 10,000 people without hypertension. All study participants were healthy and had no previous history of myocardial infarction. The investigators followed the subjects until the subject developed a MI or 15 years elapsed, whichever came first. 180 of the subjects with hypertension and 30 subjects without hypertension developed Ml during the course of the study. If no Ml developed...

Read the attached case completely. Then answer the questions that follow. CASE A new study has found that eating as little as a quarter of an ounce of chocolate each day -- an amount equal to about one small Easter egg -- may lower your risk of experiencing a heart attack or stroke. For best results, the chocolate should be dark, experts say. "Dark chocolate exhibits the greatest effects, milk chocolate fewer, and white chocolate no effects," says the lead...
A case-control study was conducted to determine the association between smoking and coronary heart disease. The investigators found an odds ratio of 1.8 for coronary heart disease among subjects who smoked compared to those who didn’t smoke. The 95% confidence interval for this odds ratio was 0.8-4.3 and the P-value was 0.10. 1. State in words your interpretation of the odds ratio. 2. State in words your interpretation of the 95% confidence interval. 3. State in words your interpretation of...
A multicenter double-blind randomized study was carried out to compare the effect of drug X with that of a placebo in patients surviving acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Treatment with the drug started 7 days after infarction in 1,884 patients, 52% of all persons who were evaluated for entry into the study. 945 participants were randomized to treatment with drug X while 939 were assigned to the placebo group. Patients were then followed for 12 months for reinfarction. There were 152...

Question 2 Grodstein and colleagues (2000) reported on the relationship between duration, dose, and type of postmenopausal hormone therapy and the risk of coronary heart disease in women. Subjects in the study were selected from the Nurses’ Health Study originally completed in 1976; the study included 120,000 married female registered nurses, aged 30–55. The original survey provided information on the subjects’ age, parental history of myocardial infarction, smoking status, height, weight, use of oral contraceptives or postmenopausal hormones, and history...
