-The incidence rate of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in those who
smoke is 400 per 10,000 person-years; in those who are exposed to air pollution, it is
200; and in those with neither exposure, it is 40. Estimate the incidence rate in those
with both exposure, assuming an additive model.
A. 560 per 10,000 person-years
B. 640 per 10,000 person-years
C. 600 per 10,000 person-years
D. 240 per 10,000 person-years
E. 440 per 10,000 person-years - -A. 560 per 10,000 person-years
Using the additive model:
(baseline rate) + (rate in those with smoke minus the baseline rate) + (rate in those
exposed to air pollution minus the baseline rate)
40+360+160 = 560 per 10,000 person-years
-Assuming that smoke and air pollution exert independent effects on COPD in question
10**, rendering this joint effect multiplicative, calculate the joint effects of these two
variables in the multiplicative model.
