Questions 6 through 10 refer to the following scenario: In a population of 1000 red-meat- eaters (E) at risk of developing colon cancer (D), 950 were free of colon cancer after 10 years of complete follow-up. Twenty were diagnosed with colon cancer after an average of five years of follow-up, twenty others died after an average of eight years of follow-up, and 10 were lost to follow-up after an average of two years due to reasons other than death. 6. What measure(s) of disease frequency should you compute to estimate the amount of colon cancer occurring in this population? a. Incidence rate b. Incidence proportion (or cumulative incidence [risk]) c. Incidence rate or incidence proportion d. Point prevalence e. Don't know 7. Compute and interpret the measure(s) of disease frequency reported above. 8. Compute and interpret the above measure(s) of disease frequency under the assumption of no loss to follow-up for any reason during the 10-year period. 9. Compute and interpret P(D). 10. Compute and interpret P(E).
