Question 5 / 8:

The following information is for Questions 4?-5

The 1 year risk (i.e. annual incidence) of lung cancer in smokers is 140 per 100,000. The 1 year risk of lung cancer in non?-smokers of the general population is 10 per 100,000.

Calculate the RR of lung cancer in smokers vs. non?-smokers.

Answer:

RR=140/100,000 divided by 10/100,000 = 14

Note: When the disease is rare (as is lung cancer) the OR approximates the RR.
