The hypothesis that men in high stress jobs have an increased risk of developing coronary heart disease was tested during an 18-year follow-up study from 2000-2017 of a group of 8,000 men of Japanese ancestry in Hawaii.  Of the 4,500 men with higher stress jobs, 3,000 of them developed CHD; of the 3,500 men with lower stress jobs, 1,800 of them developed CHD. All 8,000 men completed the CHD examination at the end of study, 3,200 were free of prevalent coronary heart disease (CHD), while 4,800 had incident CHD (there was no loss to follow up).     Disease     Have CHD No CHD   Exposed ( high stress jobs) 3000 1500 4500 Not exposed (low stress jobs) 1800 1700 3500 Calculate the risk ratio for developing CHD for the high stress group as compared to the low stress group:
