It is well-documented that age and the presence of comorbidities are individual risk factors for COVID-19 fatality. The risk profile of an individual is defined by the infection fatality rate (IFR), which quantifies the chance of death when a person of a given demographic is infected by COVID-19. Defining an adult living in a multigenerational home as a new demographic allows us to obtain an "effective" risk profile for this group. Suggest a formula for computing the effective risk of adults (20-60 years) and seniors (60+ years) in this new demographic of multigenerational homes.

A study is designed to test whether there is a difference in mean daily calcium intake in adults with normal bone density, adults with osteopenia (a low bone density which may lead to osteoporosis) and adults with osteoporosis. Adults 60 years of age with normal bone density, osteopenia and osteoporosis are selected at random from hospital records and invited to participate in the study. Each participant's daily calcium intake is measured based on reported food intake and supplements. The data are shown below. Is there a statistically significant difference in mean calcium intake in patients with normal bone density as compared to patients with osteopenia and osteoporosis?
Asian Americans are a heterogeneous group often coined as one in national and state estimates of health data. Recent studies, however, have shown that some Asian American subgroups are more likely to die early due to cardiovascular disease and more likely to report metabolic syndrome. An epidemiologist wants to study the age of diagnosis of type 2 diabetes among two Asian American subgroups (Asian Indians, Koreans). The researcher had the following two questions: Is the mean age of diagnosis for type 2 diabetes among Asian Indians different than 55 years? Is the mean age of diagnosis of type 2 diabetes different between Koreans and Asian Indians? The epidemiologist should conduct which types of tests to answer the above 2 questions? None two-sample t test after checking for equal variance and a one sample t-test One-sample t test and two-sample t test after checking for equal variance One-sample t test and ANOVA One-sample t test and ANOVA
1) Soda consumption is very common in the U.S. For the purposes of this question, assume that 30% of the population consumes the equivalent of 3 or more 12 oz. sodas per week (this is the prevalence of the exposure). A large multi-center cohort study was conducted to evaluate the association between soda consumption and risk of diabetes. At baseline, participants were asked about their typical soda consumption, and individuals who reported consuming 3 or more sodas per week were considered exposed. Participants were followed for 10 years, and the following results were obtained: Incident Cases of Diabetes 356 236 Person-Years Contributed 3+ sodas a week 375234 <3 sodas a week 399763 a) Name the appropriate measure of association corresponding to the excess rate of diabetes attributable to soda consumption among subjects who consume 3+ sodas per week. Calculate this measure (shown as a rate, using the correct units), and provide a brief interpretation of your answer b) Calculate the…
IL-6 is a cytokine released as an immune response to infection. Elevated IL-6 is suggested to be predictive of severe illness with Covid-19. Suppose we wanted to conduct a study to see if this is true among patients with Covid-19 in Florida. Assuming from a previous studies in other areas of the US, the mean IL-6 id 8.87 pg/mL (s.d. = 6.09 pg/mL) among individuals with moderate disease and 7.66 pg/mL (s.d.= 4.97 pg/mL) among individuals that are asymptomatic or have mild illness, how many people in total, would need to enroll in our new study to determine if there is a difference in means with 95% confidence and 80% power?

Recently there has been quite a bit of controversy about the lack of definitive knowledge about the adverse side effects associated with hormone-based birth control usage. Suppose a researcher is interested in the effects of birth control in women aged 18-25 relevant to blood pressure. The researcher assumes that women in this demographic that are taking hormone-based birth control are at risk for increased blood pressure. Assume the following table contains the summary statistics of two SRSs, one from a cohort of women taking hormone-based birth control, and one from a cohort of women birth control free. Study Arm Average Systolic Blood Pressure (mmHG) Sample Standard Deviation Sample Size Birth Control 124 6.8 246 No Birth Control 116 4.3 267 Carry out the appropriate statistical procedure to determine if there is a significant difference in the systolic blood pressure between the two groups of women.

A purchasing manager for a large university is deciding which brand of lights bulbs to purchase for classroom projectors. Of major concern is the longevity of the light bulbs. The purchasing manager has narrowed down the choice of light bulbs to two brands, Infocus and Proxima, and wishes to determine if there is any difference between the two brands in the mean lifetime of the bulbs. The purchasing manager obtained 12 Infocus bulbs and 10 Proxima bulbs for testing over the last several academic terms. (Consider these as random samples of the Infocus and Proxima bulbs.) The two samples were chosen separately, so that the selection of the Infocus bulbs did not affect the selection of the Proxima bulbs. The number of hours the bulbs lasted on each of the machines in the two samples were recorded. The following table gives the data, sample means, and sample standard deviations. Infocus 990, 1001, 868, 706, 1015, 899, 702, 834, 707, 800, 734, 1011 Lifetimes of light bulbs (hours) Proxima…
The 5-year incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in relation to smoking status was determined in a population sample of 1000 men, 18 years and older. At baseline, 30% of the men were classified as being current smokers and 70% as being non-smokers. At the end of the follow-up, 60 CVD events had occurred among the smokers and 70 events among the non-smokers. Construct a 2 x 2 table based on the data provided

The Framingham Heart Study was a longitudinal cohort study of 5000+ men and women. One outcome of interest was fasting glucose levels. Glucose levels were categorized into three different categories: Glucose Levels -Diabetes (glucose > 126), -Impaired Fasting Glucose (glucose 100-125), -Normal Glucose Several possible risk factors were also recorded: Risk Factors -Sex -Age -BMI (normal weight, overweight, obese) -Genetics To determine if each possible risk factor is related to glucose levels, researchers need to use an appropriate hypothesis test. Use Table 7-50 on page 161 of the textbook to select the correct test from the gray box above. What test would be used to assess whether the different sexes (male and female) have the same proportions of the different glucose levels? What test would be used to assess whether the different glucose levels have the same mean age? What test would be used to assess whether the different categories of BMI…
