You are conducting a case control study to determine if an association exists between melanoma and indoor tanning. From a statew

ide cancer registry, you identify 1,107 people who were diagnosed with melanoma in the last three years. You select 1,500 controls for your study. Through a follow-up survey, you find that 696 of those with melanoma had a history of indoor tanning. 48.2 percent of the control group reported no exposure to indoor tanning.

Answer:

a. Odds ratio = 1.58

b.  Inasmuch the odds ratio is greater than 1, this means that higher odds of melanoma exist in people exposed to indoor tanning, than in those not exposed to indoor tanning

Explanation:

For case  study                                                  

Let 'a'  represent the total population of people with melanomia = 696                                                      

Let 'b' represent the total number of people with melanomia exposed to indoor tanning  =  1107 – 696 = 411 people

For  control study

Let 'c' represent the total population = 1500

Let 'd' represent the total number of people not exposed to indoor tanning = 1500 - (0.428 * 1500)

                                                          =  1500 - 723

Total number of people not exposed to indoor tanning   = 777 people

                                                       

a. Odds ratio = (a/b) / (d/c) = (696/411) / (777/723)

                                                = 1.69 / 1.07 = 1.58

b. Inasmuch the odds ratio is greater than 1, this means that higher odds of melanoma exist in people exposed to indoor tanning, than in those not exposed to indoor tanning.

A patient's HDL, LDL, and triglyceride levels are 62, 77, and 60, respectively. What is the patient's total cholesterol score? S
Len [333]

Answer:

Total cholesterol score is 199

199 is high cholesterol score especially as it very close to 200. The patient should adopt diets that do not include high cholesterol food

Explanation:

a. Firstly, we want to calculate the patient’s total cholesterol score.

To get this, we use a mathematical approach.

Mathematically;

the total cholesterol score = HDL + TDL + Triglyceride = 62 + 77 + 60 = 199

The patient’s total cholesterol score is 199

b. As a doctor, I will advice the patient on the status of these measurements. Using the scale of cholesterol level, a measurement of total cholesterol = 200 represents a high cholesterol level. Since 199 is very close to 200, the patient is at a risk of high cholesterol levels and thus needs a dietary change.
