Question

A large medical center's oncology program reported an increased number of cases of pancreatic cancer during a certain month. The hospital's epidemiologist decided to research the problem. Tumor registry records were searched to identify all cases of pancreatic cancer during a five-year period: cancer patients were matched with patients treated for other diseases during the same five-year period. All subjects in the study were questioned about lifestyle factors including alcohol tea, and coffee consumption. The resulting data are as follows: Which number best approximates risk associated with Tea drinking in Women? 1.37 0.21 0.92 0.62

Explanation / Answer

Answer is 0.615 i.e. 0.62 number best approximate risk associated with alchohol drinking in women

total no. of cancer women=150 and with alcohol=120,therefore no. of women left =30

total no. of other diseases of women =300 and with only alcohol =260 ,therefore no. of women left=40

therefore O.R.={120/30}/{260/40}=0.62
