Question
Chapter 36, Problem 1DAA
Summary Introduction
To explain: The rate of stroke deaths among blacks living in the stroke-belt when compared with whites in the same region.
Concept introduction: Stroke is a medical condition in which poor blood flow to the brain leads to cell death. Early action can minimize brain damage and potential complications. It can happen to anyone at any time. It occurs when blood flow to an area of brain is interrupted. When brain cells die in a stroke, functions controlled by that area of the brain such as memory and muscle control are lost.

During the 15-year follow-up period, 440 cases of stroke occurred, of which 284 were classified as eating a poor diet (did not reach the recommended daily fruit and vegetable intake). Those reporting a poor diet contributed a total 126,550 person-years during the completed study. Those who reported a good diet that met the recommended daily fruit and vegetable intake contributed a total 96,422 person-years of follow-up. Calculate the relative risk of stroke in those exposed to the study factor. Report and interpret the meaning of the measure you calculate. Physical activity levels of participants were recorded during the study. The investigators analysed the data further to understand whether “low” physical activity (i.e. not meeting the recommended levels of physical activity) was a confounder of the association between a poor diet and incident stroke. They calculated the following values: The…arrow_forwardWhy are some people with arrhythmia does not require treatment?arrow_forward
