Of the 1,000 men, 50 are already hypertensive. The remaining 950 are tracked over the span of five years, during which time 64 additional men develop hypertension. (Assume there is no loss to follow up or death due to competing risks). 1. Determine the prevalence of hypertension at the beginning of the study. 2. Calculate the five-year incidence proportion (risk) of hypertension. 3. Calculate the incidence rate of hypertension in the cohort with and without an actuarial adjustment. Did the actuarial adjustment make a difference? Explain your answer CAPELLA UNIVERsia

Explanation / Answer

ANSWER :-

Prevelance is defined as measurement of all individuals affected by a disease at a particular time.

(a)

prevelance = 50 men ( given in the problem)

(b)

For 5 years

Initial value = 50 men

Newly attacked = 64 * 5 = 320

Incedence proportion = Newly attacked / No of rest = 320 / 50 = 6.4

(c)

Incidence rate = Newly attacked / Total population

With actuarial adjustment

Incidence rate = (320+50)/1000 = 0.37

Without actuarial adjustment

Incidence rate = 320 / 1000 = 0.32

Yes, The actuarial adjustment makes a difference.
