Men who smoke are 23 times more likely to develop lung cancer than men who don't smoke
Madhur L.
Question 6: A 20-year study of British male physicians noted that the proportion who died from lung cancer was 0.00140 per year for cigarette smokers and 0.00010 per year for nonsmokers. The proportion who died from heart disease was 0.00669 for smokers and 0.00413 for nonsmokers. a. Describe the association of smoking with lung cancer and with heart disease using the difference of proportions, the relative risk and the odds ratio. Interpret. b. Which response (lung cancer or heart disease) is more strongly related to cigarette smoking, in terms of the reduction in deaths that could occur with an absence of smoking?
Assuming that the duration of smoking is normally distributed, what proportion of men in this age group have smoked for more than 20 years? Cardiovascular Disease, Pulmonary Disease. The duration of cigarette smoking has been linked to many diseases, including lung cancer and various forms of heart disease. Suppose we know that among men ages 30-34 who have ever smoked, the mean number of years they smoked is 12.8 with a standard deviation of 5.1 years. For women in this age group, the mean number of years they smoked is 9.3 with a standard deviation of 3.2.
