A study is conducted in patients with HIV. The primary outcome is CD4 cell count which is a measure of the stage of the disease. Lower CD4 is associated with more advanced disease. I'm looking for an association between vitamin and mineral supplements and CD4 count. For the analysis Y=CD4 count. (CD4 count coded as 1=yes, 0=no)

What is the expected CD4 count for a patient not taking the supplements who was diagnosed with HIV at study enrollment?

Question 3 is cohort study to run estimate the incidence of stroke in persons 55 years of age and older. all participants are free of strokes at study start. Each participant is followed for a max of 5 years. The data summary is:

Men (n=9)
Number of Strokes in men = 9
Number of stroke free in men in years = 478
Women (n=200)
Number of strokes in women = 21
Number of stroke free in women in years 974
