Risk = Incidence rate X Time (good approximation is risk < 20%)

Using only this equation and the overall incidence rate for women (7.4 per 1000 person years) and men (3.9 per 1000 person years) (Table 2), answer the following questions:

Among women, what is the one year risk of being diagnosed with anxiety?

Among men, what is the two year risk of being diagnosed with anxiety?

Are women or men at greater risk of developing anxiety
