Calculations for All Cause
due to Education
- The data in the paper states that the
relative risk of all cause mortality for men (only data
for ages 25 to 59 were used as opposed to ages 60 to 74,
as it was assumed that they represent the entire
population better) with less than or equal to 9 years of
education; 10 to 11 years of education and more than 11
years of education is 1.20, 1.13, and 1 respectively
- The figures for women are 1.42, 1.30 and
1.
- The risks are then normalized.
- The normalized risk for men are 1.08688,
1.02348 and 0.90573; while the normalized risk for women
are 1.12586, 1.03072 and 0.79286.
- Since this is an all-cause mortality
relative risk, all the cause-specific lambda values are
multiplied by the normalized relative risk.
