The relative risk of fish is: a. 0.7 b. 1.2 c. 1.7 d. 3.0 e. 7.0 Key: True: a In a prospective study of the relationship between oral contraceptive use and the subsequent risk of developing endometrial cancer, a cohort of 1000 women were followed for 5 years. The results were as follows: A 245 B 75 C 50 D 630 A + C = 295 B + D = 705 n = 1000 2. What is the incidence rate (absolute risk) of endometrial cancer among who didn’t use oral contraceptives? a. 630 / (50 + 630) b. 75 / (245 + 75) c. 50 / (50 + 630) d. 245 / (245 + 75) e. Insufficient data Key: True: c 50/(50 + 630) In a prospective study of the relationship between oral contraceptive use and the subsequent risk of de...
