"Women who attend religious services are about 80 percent as likely to to die as those not regulary attending. Discuss tthe extent to which each of the following three apply to this quote:
1. the baseline risk is missing
2. the time period of the risk is missing
3. the reported risk is not necessarily your risk
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

isn't the probability of dying the same for everyone? Namely 1?
If you mean "dying in the near future", I suppose elderly women are disproportionately represented among the population of women attending church services( People in their 20's are vastly underrepresented). So that would explain the data.
You'll have to sort out how this relates to your three points. I can't help you with that.
