Please use the figure to answer these questions. This involves data from the Nurses’ Health Study regarding Type 2 diabetes. (The caption is retyped below in case you cannot read the image). Relative Risks for Type 2 Diabetes According to Frequency of Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Consumption: Nurses’ Health Study II, United States, 1991–1999 Note. Whiskers indicate 95% confidence intervals. The sample size was n = 91 249 women. Relative risks were adjusted for age, alcohol intake, physical activity, family history of diabetes, smoking, menopausal hormone use, oral contraceptive use, intake of cereal fiber, magnesium, trans fat, and ratio of polyunsaturated to saturated fat. P value is 0.001

You are intrigued by data that indicate that gender and ethnicity may have an impact on health outcomes. You join a group from Johns Hopkins University headed by Dr. Roland Thorpe to further explore this issue. You examine a Baltimore neighborhood that is racially integrated and compare the health of black and white men using in person surveys and repeated blood pressure measurements. You compare your data (EHDIC) with national data (NHIS) and this is in the table below. This is a comparison of odds ratios for various conditions (health outcomes) for black men (being black is the exposure) compared with white men (considered not to be exposed to being black) from data in the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) and the Thorpe study (EHDIC, examining a racially integrated Baltimore neighborhood). They are asking if being black increases the risk for these conditions. Table 1: Exploring Men’s Health Disparities in Integrated Communities, OR (95% CI) Condition NHIS 2003 (national data) EHDIC (your data) Obesity 1.29 (1.12-1.49) 1.06 (0.70-1.62) Hypertension 1.58 (1.34-1.86) 1.05 (0.70-1.59) Diabetes 1.62 (1.27-2.08) 1.12 (0.57-2.22) Heart Disease 0.71 (0.55-0.91) 0.71 (0.41-1.22 Question: What do the national data (NHIS) indicate about the differences in health outcomes for black as compared with white men? What do the EHDIC data indicate? How did you know? What social determinants are the same for both races in the EHDIC study that may be different in the NHIS data?

Three burglars entered a residence to steal some liquor, but while they were there, they carved their initials in a grand piano, broke record albums in half, and spray-painted obscenities on the walls. They also went into the kitchen and ate food from the refrigerator.Based on the M.O. of this crime, who are likely to be the burglars?
