Question 1124960: A study of cancer of the uterus for women in the Western world found that obese women had a relative risk of 1.5 of getting this cancer compared to normal weight women.
a. If the absolute risk of getting this cancer is 2% for normal weight women, what is the absolute risk for obese women?
b. Express the relative risk of 1.5 as a percentage increase. Write your answer as a sentence.
c. Discuss whether this type of cancer should be considered a major risk factor for obese women.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! absolute risk is 3%
relative risk of 1.5 means 1 is 50% MORE likely to get cancer.
uterine cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women with a risk of 1 in 36 women's developing it. Anything that would prevent this or drop the relative risk would appear to be important to find.
