1. The three largest cities in New Zealand are Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch. Assume that these are the only three cities in New Zealand. According to a population wide survey in each of the three cities, there were the following existing cases of prostate cancer at the beginning of 2012: Auckland (330) Wellington (270) and Christchurch (250). See the table below for the more information. Assuming the disease is incurable, the population in each of the three cities doesn't change, and these are the only three cities in New Zealand. City Auckland Wellington Christchurch Total Population Male Population (Jan 1, 2012) (Jan 1, 2012) City 400,000 370,000 340,000 196,000 188,700 170,000 Auckland 60 Wellington 70 Christchurch 50 During 2012, 60 of the prostate cancer cases in Auckland die, as well as 70 in Wellington and 50 in Christchurch. In addition, 90 new cases are diagnosed in Auckland, 80 in Wellington and 100 in Christchurch. Deaths from Prostate Cancer as of Dec 31, 2012 Prostate Cancer Cases (12:00 AM, Jan 1, 2012) 330 90 270 250 New Cases of Prostate Cancer diagnosed between Jan 1, 2012 and Dec 31, 2012 80 100 1) What is the ratio of men with prostate cancer in Auckland relative to Wellington at the beginning of year 2012? 2) What is the proportion of men with prostate cancer in New Zealand that live in Wellington at the beginning of year 2012? 3) What proportion of the men in Auckland who had prostate cancer at the start of 2012 died during 2012? 4) Determine the ratio of men that died of the disease relative to those that were ill but alive at the end of 2012 for Wellington. 5) What was the incidence rate (per 100,000) of prostate cancer in Christchurch during 2012? The denominator of rate is the at-risk population (those men without the disease at the beginning of the time). 6) What was the point prevalence of prostate cancer (per 100,000) at the end of 2012 in Auckland? The denominator of point prevalence is the living population at the point in time when prevalence is measured.
