My Notes + Ask Your Teacher The headline in an article in the Sacramento Bee read "Firing someone? Risk of heart attack doubles." The article explained that "between 1989 and 1994, doctors interviewed 791 working people who had just undergone heart attacks about what they had done recently. The researchers concluded that firing someone or having a high-stakes deadline doubled the usual risk of a heart attack during the following week For a healthy 50-year-old man or a healthy 60-year-old woman, the risk of a heart attack in any given hour without any trigger is about 1 in a million." A heart attack without any trigger can be considered a sudden heart attack. A person who has to fire someone or is subjected to a high-stakes deadline can be considered a high stress individual. Conversely, a person who has not experienced these things can be considered a low stress individual. Assuming the relationship is indeed as stated in the article, write sentences that could be understood by someone with no training in statistics, giving each of the following for this example. (a) the odds ratio The odds of an individual having a sudden heart attack for a high stress individual versus a low stress individual are (b) increased risk (as a %) A high stress individual faces a % higher risk of having a sudden heart attack compared to a low stress individual. (c) relative risk The risk of an individual having a sudden heart attack is greater for a high stress individual versus a low stress individual. times Need Help? Read It Talk to a Tutor
