- as an epidemiologist you are going to investigate the effect of lead exposure in a Baltimore neighborhood and the incidence of lead poisining and related difficulties in early childhood. You start with a cohort of 400 babies born in 2015. At baseline, none of them have any symptoms of lead poisining, but after taking envirnomental samples from their homes you find that 250 have lead paint exposure and 150 of them do not You follow them for ten years and keep track of incident cases of lead poisining based on blood samples. In 2025 you end your study and report the following: 100 of the children previously exposed to lead paint in 2015 have lead poisining and 25 of the children that were not exposed in 2015 have lead poisining. Calculate the cumulative incidence for the exposed group and the unexposed group. Calculate the relative risk between lead paint exposure and lead poisining.arrow_forwardPlease help me if I selected correct answerarrow_forwardA research team reads a journal article about a new finding that countries with greater prevalence of infection with Virus X also had greater prevalence of brain cancer (a rare disease). The research team wants to determine whether there is an association between virus X and brain cancer by using a study design that can provide a greater quality of evidence. They decide to use their access to a large existing prospective cohort study called ALIVE that enrolled participants at birth and followed them until death. At ALIVE study entry (baseline), participants answered a survey and the study team collected blood specimens that were stored long-term in the freezer. Assume that virus x is not curable, and once an individual is infected with virus x we can always detect the virus in the blood in the future. However, assaying (measuring) the blood for virus X is very expensive. Virus X has only recently been discovered, so no participants in the ALIVE cohort have had Virus X measured yet.…arrow_forward
