Questions 1 and 2 are based on the information given below: 1. What was the cause-specific mortality rate from cholera in 2010 ? 2. What was the case-fatality from cholera in 2010 ? 3. Age-adjusted death rates are used to: a. Correct death rates for errors in the statement of age b. Determine the actual number of deaths that occurred in specific age groups in a population c. Correct death rates for missing age information d. Compare deaths in persons of the same age group e. Eliminate the effects of differences in the age distributions of populations in comparing death rates prevalent in persons 65 to 69 years old in city B than it is in persons 65 to 69 years old in city A is: a. Correct b. Incorrect, because of failure to distinguish between prevalence and mortality c. Incorrect, because of failure to adjust for differences in age distributions d. Incorrect, because of failure to distinguish between period and point prevalence e. Incorrect, because a proportion is used when a rate is required to support the inference 5. The incidence rate of a disease is five times greater in women than in men, but the prevalence rates show no sex difference. The best explanation is that: a. The crude all-cause mortality rate is greater in women b. The case-fatality from this disease is greater in women c. The case-fatality from this disease is lower in women d. The duration of this disease is shorter in men e. Risk factors for the disease are more common in women 6. For a disease such as pancreatic cancer, which is highly fatal and of short duration: a. Incidence rates and mortality rates will be similar b. Mortality rates will be much higher than incidence rates c. Incidence rates will be much higher than mortality rates d. Incidence rates will be unrelated to mortality rates e. None of the above 1,800 during 1990. What was the standardized mortality ratio (SMR) for lung diseases in miners? Question 8 is based on the information given below: 1,800 during 1990. What was the standardized mortality ratio (SMR) for lung diseases in miners? Question 8 is based on the information given below
