[Tex/LaTex] Table formatting with tabularx

tablestabularx

I'm trying to format the following table:

\documentclass[12pt]{report}
\usepackage[left=35mm, right=25mm, top=30mm, bottom=30mm]{geometry}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage[flushleft]{threeparttable}  % package for tablenotes
\usepackage{booktabs,makecell,tabularx} % booktabs is used for horizontal lines (\toprule, \midrule, and \bottomrule)
\usepackage{array} % used together with tabularx
\usepackage{mathcomp} % for symbols

\begin{document}

\begin{table}[htbp]

However, this is the output:

Do you know how to properly format this table?

You need to

increase the widths of the 2-column headers
adjust the relative widths of the X-type columns so that no line wrapping is required in the final two columns. In the code below, observe that the relative widths of the four L columns sums to 4 (the number of such columns), and that the relative widths of the two C columns also sums to 4.

Addendum to address the OP's follow-up question: I assume the additional objective of aligning numbers on their (implicit or explicit) decimal markers pertains to columns 2 and 3 of the table. As the following table shows, it's possible to use the S column type for the numbers and to use (modified) C columns for the two headers cells -- "Type 1 diabetes" and "Control", respectively. Note, incidentally, that the cell entries "j" and "n" need to be encased in curly braces to keep siunitx from (mis)interpreting what these symbols may mean.

[Tex/LaTex] Whole page table with tabularx

you have some issues, first off the 290mm should really be \linewidth or \textwidth. Second, you should put a \noindent in front of the tabular. And finally, not so much of an issue, remove the page number.

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{pdflscape}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}
  \begin{landscape}
    \thispagestyle{empty}
    \noindent
    \begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{|c|c|c|X|}
      \hline
      Lorem & Lorem & Lorem & \lipsum[1] \\
      \hline
    \end{tabularx}
  \end{landscape}
\end{document}

To address the comment, it's not how I read it, but if that is in fact the case, the following can be used (Adjusted after egreg's comment):

\centering\makebox[0pt][c]{%
  \hskip-\footskip
  \begin{tabularx}{\paperheight}{|c|c|c|X|}
    \hline
    Lorem & Lorem & Lorem & \lipsum[1] \\
    \hline
  \end{tabularx}%
  \hskip\headheight
}

multirow needs a little help if the spanning entry is larger than the rows it spans. Also you have use multiples of \baselineskip for the width argument, which seemed wrong.
