True or false: The absolute risk of dying from a heart attack in those 20 years and over is 0.73%?
False
True or false: Relative risk is calculated by dividing one risk by another?
True
Match the following statistics with their correct values based on the data interpretation:
Absolute risk of dying from a heart attack for those 20 years and over = 0.64% Increased risk of dying from a heart attack for those who skip breakfast = 14.00% Absolute risk difference between the risk of dying from a heart attack in those who skip breakfast compared to those who don't = 0.09%
Match the following concepts with their correct mathematical expressions based on the data interpretation:
Relative Risk = $\frac{0.73}{0.64} = 1.14$ Increased Risk Percentage = $14.00%$ Absolute Risk Difference = $0.73 - 0.64 = 0.09$
Match the issues around data interpretation with their examples from the text:
Misleading axes = Truncating an axis Cherry picking time period = RBA cash rate has increased for the first time Absolute v relative risks = Risk of dying from a heart attack in those who skip breakfast
