A researcher assessed body weight in a community using two methods. First, participants were asked, “Do you think you are overweight?” (Possible answers: ‘yes’ or ‘no’). All participants were then weighed and classified as ‘overweight’ or not. The assessment was however done separately by hypertensive status. Among 270 hypertensive participants, 108 were classified as overweight on the basis of being weighed. Of these 108, 54 reported themselves as overweight when questioned. Of the 162 participants not classified as overweight on the basis of being weighed 16 reported themselves as overweight when questioned. Among 745 non-hypertensive participants, 134 were classified as overweight on the basis of being weighed. Of these 134, 118 reported themselves as overweight when questioned. Of the 611 participants who were not classified as overweight on being weighed, 110 reported themselves as overweight on questioning.
Separately for the groups:
(1) People with hypertension

A study is done to examine whether there is an association between the daily use of vitamins C & E and risk of coronary artery disease (heart attacks) over a 10 year period. When subjects who took both vitamins were compared to those who took not vitamins at all, the risk ratio was found to be 0.70. Which of the following is a correct interpretation of this finding? Answer and explain.
a. The incidence of coronary artery disease in those who take vitamins C & E daily is 0.70 (or 70%)
b. Those who take vitamins C & E daily have 0.7 times the risk of heart attack compared to those who do not take vitamins
c.The risk difference in this study is 70 per 100 vitamin users over ten years
d. The odds ratio in this study is 70 per 100 vitamin users over ten years
e. The risk difference in this study is 0.70 per 100 vitamin users over ten years

You have 200 healthy cattle (100 of each sex, all of the same age and breed) and 4 pens that each hold 50 cattle. It is claimed that grain supplement A can improve weight gain compared to grain supplement B if they are included in the diets at isoenergetic and isonitrogenous levels (ie. equal energy and protein). Can you suggest a possible hypothesis? What is/are the dependent variable(s)? What is/are the independent variable(s)? What are the confounding factors?

The groups are not different in any other way. After several days, and upon comparing the cholesterol level of both groups, he finds that the high fat diet group has higher levels. He concludes that eating fatty foods is bad for people. Has Mr. Fede come to a good conclusion? Explain why or why not, includingarrow_forward
- Scientists and nutritionists have long suspected that high-fructose corn syrup, used to sweeten soft drinks, is one of the causes of childhood obesity. In a recent study, at the University of Cincinnati, researchers found that mice that drank water with added fructose ate less solid food, gained more weight, and put on 90% more body fat than mice that drank only water. Scientists concluded that fructose may cause the body to store fat. What is the control used in this experiment?arrow_forwardOne study predicted that trained subjects would have a resting metabolic rate 100-200 kcal/day greater than sedentary subjects.

The investigators compared 200 individuals who had a stroke and were currently residing in one of several hospitals to 500 other subjects who were in the hospital for reasons other than blood clot disorders or health events. All subjects were asked to report the amount of fat they consume the past 24 hours prior to their hospital visit. 4. What type of study design is this? a. Case report b. Case series c. Ecological Study d. Cross-sectional (descriptive) e. Cross-sectional (analytic) f. Case-control g. Retrospective cohort h. Prospective cohort i.
