Meat-eaters vs non-meat-eatersA researcher is comparing disease X among meat-eaters (ME) and non-meat-eaters (NE). The disease X death rate per 100,000 for ME is 55 and for NE is 12. The prevalence of meat-eating in this population is 82%. What is the population etiologic fraction (or population attributable fraction) of disease X due to meat-eating? Your answer should be a percentage with one decimal point; but, just include the number (e.g., 10.5% should be entered as 10.5).
a) 15.9%
b) 67.1%
