6. A population study studied 22,000 male physicians who were assigned to either a low-dose aspirin
treatment or a placebo. They followed the physicians for about 5 years and recorded whether or not
they had a myocardial infarction (heart attack). The data is presented below.

This is a question on my homework. Did I compute the prevalence of hypertension at baseline and at 2 years correctly? Also, I am unsure how to calculate Incidence.
A cohort study is conducted to assess the association between clinical characteristics and the risk of stroke. The study involves n=1,250 participants who are free of stroke at the study start. Each participant is assessed at study start (baseline) and every year thereafter for five years. The following table displays data on hypertension status measured at baseline and hypertension status measured two years later.
2 Years: Not Hypertensive
2 Years: Hypertensive
Baseline: Not Hypertensive
850
148
Baseline: Hypertensive
45
207
Compute the prevalence of hypertension at baseline.
Prevalence = 45/252 = .1785 = 18%
Compute the prevalence of hypertension at 2 years.
Prevalence = _207/356 = .58309 = 58%
Compute the cumulative incidence of hypertension over 2 years.
Incidence =…
