HOMEWORK #2 Question 2. From two hypothetical populations in city Zeta, data were occurrence of chronic bronchitis among males aged 40-79. The results are the following table. obtained on the shown in North Zeta South Zeta No. males No. with Age Total number No. with of males chronic chronic bronchitis 30 40-49 50-59 60-69 70-79 TOTAL 4,000 3,000 10,000 10 20 50 302,000 110 2,000 3,000 9,000 20 20 90 2.1What are the crude rates of Chronic Bronchitis in North and South Zeta? 2.2.Perform an age standardization comparison between the two populations with the following weights: 40-49 2,000; 50-59 1,000: 60-69 1,000; and 70-79 1,000. Where is the overall risk for Chronic Bronchitis (COPD) higher, in North or South Zeta? 2.3.Based on what type of rate did you answer question 2.2.? 2.4.Tobacco smoking is the number 1 risk factor for chronic bronchitis. Where would you presume that younger adults (younger than 50) smoke more? In North Zeta or South Zeta? Based on what type of rate did you answer your question? Question 3. In the context of epidemiological trends: 3.1.-The fact that the number of cancer cases increases with a population life expectancy can be described as mostly a result of aeffect. 3.2.-When different graduating classes show sustained differences between them in the prevalence of marijuana consumption over time, these trends can be described as mostly a result of a-effect 1990s, concomitant with the discovery of the PSA test, is a proper description of a trend resulting mostly from a-effect. 3.3- The sudden peak in incidence of prostate cancer across all age groups in the earlyExplanation / Answer
Crude rate of Chronic Bronchitis in North Zeta is 110/10000= 0.011 and South Zeta is 90/9000= 0.01
The risk factor for age group below 50 in North Zeta is 10/1000=0.01 and South Zeta is 30/2000=0.015. Therefore, South Zeta has has risk factor.
