Among this group the investigators measured serum cholesterol levels. The men had the following distribution across serum cholesterol: 100 had serum cholesterol levels of less than 200 mg/dL, 600 had levels of 200-270 mg/dL and 300 had levels greater than 270 mg/dL. There were 5 new cases of coronary heart disease among males with serum cholesterol 200-270 mg/dL and 5 among those with levels greater than 270 mg/dL. What was the relative risk of coronary heart disease comparing males with serum cholesterol 200-270mg/dL to those with levels >270 mg/dL? Among the civil service employees in the previous question, what was the relative risk of coronary heart disease comparing males with serum cholesterol >270mg/dL to males with serum cholesterol 200-270 mg/dL?.
