Lung Cancer & Smoking Case Study A causal relationship between cigarette smoking and lung cancer was first suspected in the 1920s on the basis of clinical observations. To test this apparent association, numerous epidemiologic studies were undertaken between 1930 and 1960. Two studies were conducted by Richard Doll and Austin Bradford Hill in Great Britain The first was a case-control study begun in 1947 comparing the smoking habits of lung cancer patients with the smoking habits of other patients. The...

A cohort study of physical activity and coronary heart disease was conducted in a rural community. The incidence of heart disease was 18.1 per 1,000 person-years among those with sedentary lifestyles and 9.1 per 1,000 person-years among those with active lifestyles. We know that 35% of this population lived sedentary lifestyles. What is the proportion of risk in the total population attributable to a sedentary lifestyle?
