Question

In January 2010, a team of epidemiologists identified a sample of 12,525 women, 50- 65 years of age, in Denver, for a study of osteoporosis. Tests indicated that 6% of these women already had osteoporosis. Study subjects were followed prospectively for 10 years to determine the cumulative incidence of osteoporosis in the sample. By the end of the 10 years of follow-up 1,107 of the women had developed osteoporosis. What was the ten-year cumulative incidence of osteoporosis, per 1,000 women, in this study? Please show your work.

Answer 1

To calculate the ten-year cumulative incidence of osteoporosis, per 1,000 women, in this study, we can use the following steps:

1. Calculate the total number of women who developed osteoporosis during the study: 1,107 women
2. Calculate the proportion of women who developed osteoporosis during the study: 1,107 women / 12,525 women = 0.088
3. Multiply the proportion of women who developed osteoporosis by 1,000 to get the ten-year cumulative incidence per 1,000 women: 0.088 * 1,000 = 88 women per 1,000 women

Output:

88.0
