Tasmanian researchers conducted a case –control study toinvestigate the effect of dietary fat intake on skin cancer. Theyhypothesised that people whose dietary fat intake is lowwill be more susceptible to skin cancer. The studycompared 500 cases of melanoma with 500 controls who were randomlyselected from the state’s electoral roll. The researcherscategorised the dietary fat intake into three categories High,Moderate and Low. They found that among skin cancer patients 150were classified at the low and 80 at the high dietary fat intakewhereas among control 130 were at the low and 100 were at thehigh.   

1. Build a table to summarise the data above which willhelp you estimate the association between dietary fat intake andSkin cancer
2. , pay attention to headings of columns and rows [4points]

1. Calculate the appropriate measure of relative risk (RR) ofhaving melanoma between those consuming low fat intake versus highfat intake; calculate the appropriated measure of RR of havingmelanoma between those consuming medium to high fat intake andexplain in words the meaning of what you found [4points].

1. Calculate the percent attributable risk due to exposure tolow-dietary fat intake on Melanoma and explain in one or twosentences the meaning of your findings [4points]

1. Calculated the population attributable risk of low-fat intakeon melanoma and explain in words the meaning of such finding[4 points]

e) What do you think about the conclusions of the PAR regardingexposure to low fat diet to reduce melanoma? (no more than 3-4sentences) [4 points}
