26. Men: ? - ? = ? per?, this means that ? per ? cases of CVD among men can be attributed to MS; . Women: ? - ? = ? per?, this means that ? per ? cases of CVD among women canbe attributed to MS. Incidence and prevalence rates can also be used to compare the rates of In a a cross settings (places), people, or time. We therefore need measures of if fise firequency is called the risk difference, or rate difference. In some cases, in perobes a ped or comparison group. In other cases, it may not-for example, you (4) Mes Metabolic syndrome (MS), also called insulin resistance syndrome, 3. 3 soc ciated with cardiovascular disease and is defined by the presence of at (ast three of the following risk factors: high plasma glucose, low high-density ipopproteins (HDL), high triglycerides, a large waist circumference, and high blod pressure. A meta-analysis (Gami et al. 2007) that combined 37 sepaatc studies showed that MS puts both men and women at increased risk of decloping cardiovascular disease (CVD). Suppose that you did a large study of 10,000 men and 10,000 women and followed them for ten years. Of the men, 3,000 had metabolic syndrome, compared with 3,500 women. The incidence of CVD among men was 6 per 100 for those with MS and 3.03 per those without. Among women, the incidence of CVD was 5 per 100f/000 for 100 for those without. with MS and 1.9 per
