Epidemiology: In a study to investigate the relationship between hypertension and the risk of myocardial infarction (MI), 3000 men had their blood pressure checked in January 2016. They had no MI when they were recruited. It was found that 1000 of them had high blood pressure and 2000 of them did not have high blood pressure. Researchers followed the men for 5 years to determine if high blood pressure was associated with MI. At the end of the study follow up, 120 people suffered MI among those with high blood pressure and 150 developed MI among those with normal blood pressure. What type of study is described here? Calculate the appropriate measure of association to determine the risk of MI among those with high BP compared to those with normal BP. Interpret the measure of association. What is the risk differences in MI per 1000 persons among those with high blood pressure compared to those without high blood pressure? Interpret your findings in a sentence. study type: A. Case control b. Cross sectional c ecological d. Cohort
