Question

Use the following data for questions 5-7 The following data show the average population and number of new cases of Type ll Diabetes over a 1-year period by gender for two cities: Saugatuck, MI and Fennville, MI City Saugatuck, MI Males Gender Population 36,000 24,000 # of cases 450 Females Fennville, MIMales 18,000 210 Females 42,000 360 What is the gender-standardized incidence rate of Type Il Diabetes for Saugatuck, MI? The gender-standardized incidence rate of Type Il Diabetes should be calculated using direct standardization (we are adjusting/standardizing for gender; refer to the steps in the slides). Since this is direct standardization, you can use the rates (per 1,000) you previously calculated (your study rates). For the standard population, we will use the combined populations of the two cities as the standard population. Thus, the standard population would have 54,000 males and 66,000 females with a total population of 120,000 O A. 7.6 cases per 1,000 per year O B. 12.5 cases per 1,000 per year ° C. 11.7 cases per 1,000 per year D. 8.38 cases per 1,000 per year

Explanation / Answer

Answer :- (B)

As we can see that, 450 × 1000 / 36000 = 450000/36000 = 12.5

So according to this the answer would be, (B) 12.5 cases per 1000 per year
