Change over time in the prevalence of risk factor exposure
| Age group | HRT (RR = 1.17 [21]a) | Alcohol (RR = 1.7 [24]b) | Obesity (RR = 2.0 [24]c) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1980-1990 | 1995-2005 | 1980-1990 | 1995-2005 | 1980-1990 | 1995 -2005 | |
| 50-59 | 7.9% | 31.6% | 16.7% | 13.5% | 4.1% | 6.4% |
| 60-69 | 7.7% | 30.7% | 7.0% | 5.7% | 6.1% | 10.4% |
| 70-79 | 2.3% | 9.0% | 3.7% | 3.0% | 6.1% | 10.4% |
a RR resulting from the four available models in table six of "AFSSAPS report"[21]. RR = Total of expected exposed cases (3922.15)/Total of expected non-exposed cases (3358.78) = 1.17
Prevalence data restricted to population based samples: "ESPS-EPAS" and "3C" [21].
