The National Institutes of Health NIH Surveillance and Epide

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Surveillance and Epidemiology End Results Program (SEER) estimates that there are 7.4 cases of gastric cancer per 100,000 men and women per year. Given this information, in this study, is it possible to estimate the relative risk (RR) of gastric cancer for chili pepper eaters (exposed), compared to non chili pepper eaters? If yes, what is the relative risk? Show your work.

Solution

Form this information we cannot calculate the reative risk, because need the data if number of chili epper eaters with and without gastric and the same for non chli pepper eaters.
