30s - Q7
This statistic is used to estimate the risk of acquiring a disease. It may be measured as a rate or a proportion.

In a cohort study, the risk ratio of developing diabetes was 0.86 when comparing consumers of tea (exposed) to those who did not drink tea (non-exposed). Which one statement is correct ?
The tea drinkers have lower risk of developing diabetes
The tea drinkers have higher risk of developing diabetes
Based on the information given, we cannot tell if the observed difference in disease risk is the result of chance.
Risk ratio is close to the value one, so there is no difference in disease risk between the two groups.
30s - Q9
In which one of the following circumstances will the prevalance of a disease in the population increase, all else being constant ?
If the incidence rate of disease falls
If the population in which the disease is measured increases
If survival time with the disease increases
If recovery of the disease is faster
30s - Q10
In an epidemiological context, what is the population at risk ?
The population group with the highest relative risk of disease
The proportion of a population that engage in risky behaviours
The group of people that may experience the outcome we want to study
A group of people participating in a study that may be
