A closed cohort study was conducted to investigate whether or not diabetes increases the risk of heart disease. During the enrollment period over 3,000 individuals were interested in participating and were screened for eligibility. Of those, 2,556 were eligible and enrolled. 216 of the participants had diabetes and 2,340 did not have diabetes at time of enrollment. During the 20 year follow up period, among those who had diabetes, 26 developed coronary heart disease. Among those who did not have diabetes, 91 developed coronary heart disease. Question 1) Calculate and interpret the appropriate measure of disease occurrence and measure of association for this cohort study. Question 2) Calculate the Risk Difference to get an idea of how much risk of disease would be preventable if you "eliminate" diabetes. How do you interpret and communicate your findings? Based on establish knowledge about the etiology of disease, the investigators want to consider hypertension as a…
Obesity and being overweight is caused by excessive adipose tissues, or body fat. Visceral fat, surrounding internal organs, is clearly associated with heart disease and diabetes. Subcutaneous fat, found just below the skin (often in the buttocks and thighs), is not. A study examined the impact of exercise type on visceral and subcutaneous fat. Overweight, sedentary, but otherwise disease-free adults were randomly assigned to 3 exercise regimens for eight months: aerobic training, resistance training, aerobic plus resistance training. All exercise sessions were supervised to ensure correct completion. The subjects' body fat amount was assessed with computed tomography imaging (in cm2) at the beginning and end of the experiment. The study report contains the following information about the visceral fat reduction (in cm2) achieved by the subjects in each group (note that the reduction is indicated as a positive value): Treatment n x s Aerobic training 36 25.7 32 Resistance…
In the past 10 years, the prevalence of peanut allergies has doubled in Western countries. Is consumption or avoidance of peanuts in infants related to the development of peanut allergies in infants at risk? Subjects included infants between four and 11 months with severe eczema, egg allergy, or both but who did not display a preexisting sensitivity to peanuts based on a skin-prick test. The infants were randomly assigned to either a treatment that avoided consuming peanut protein or a treatment in which at least 6 grams of peanut protein were consumed per week. The response was the presence or absence of peanut allergy at 60 months of age. In the avoidance group containing 263 infants, 36 had developed a peanut allergy at 60 months of age, while in the consumption group containing 266 infants, five had developed a peanut allergy.

A researcher wants to conduct a study to determine whether a newly developed anti-tardy program is successful. Two random groups of 100 students each, identified as control and treatment groups, are formed from 200 students who are repeatedly late to school. Both groups receive a set of anti-tardy reading materials and a lecture from a teacher and a tardy-reformed student about the negative impacts of being late. In addition, the treatment group also receives materials from the newly developed program. Thirty-three of the 100 students in the control and 35 of the 100 students in the treatment group are no longer late to school is recorded 6 months later. Use the results to test the hypotheses H0: p1 = p2 and Ha: p1 ≠ p2 where p1 represents the proportion of students who succeed in the control program and p2 represents the proportion of students who succeed in the newly developed program. What can you conclude using the significance level α = 0.05? Group of answer choices The new…
Assortative mating is a nonrandom mating pattern where individuals with similar genotypes and/or phenotypes mate with one another more frequently than what would be expected under a random mating pattern. Researchers studied this topic and collected data on Scandinavian men and their female partners. They found out 60% of Scandinavian men have blue eyes. Among those men with blue eyes, 80% of them choose female partners with blue eyes. Among those Scandinavian men whose eye color is not blue, 20% of them have partners with blue eyes. Given that a man’s partner has blue eyes, what’s that probability this man has blue eyes? If 60% of Scandinavian men have blue eyes and you randomly select 8 men, what’s the probability that none of them has blue eyes?
A campus administrator has found that 60% of all students view courses as very useful, 20%, as somewhat useful, and 20%, as worthless. Of a random sample of 100 students taking business courses, 68 found the course in question very useful, 18, somewhat useful, and 14, worthless. Test the null hypothesis that the population distribution for business courses is the same as that for all courses.
In randomized, double-blind olinical trials of a new vaccine, rats were randomly divided into two groups. Subjects in group x received the new vaccine while subjects in group y received a control vaccine. After the first dose, 118 of 718 subjects in the experimental group (group x) experienced vamiting as a side effect. After the first dose, 74 of 619 of the subjects in the control group (group y) experienced vomiting as a side effect. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the two population proportions, P, - P, The 95% confidence interval for P,-P, is ( (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
Of a random sample of 100 college students, 35 expected to achieve a higher standard of living than their parents, 43 expected a lower standard of living, and 22 expected about the same standard of living as their parents. Do these data present strong evidence that, for the population of students, more expect a lower standard of living compared with their parents than expect a higher standard of living?
Aarskog syndrome is a rare genetic condition affecting approximately 1/25,000 people. Researchers have found FGD1 gene mutations in approximately 22% of individuals with Aarskog syndrome. A study looking to establish causality reported an odds ratio for Aarskog syndrome of 2.24 (95% CI 1.2 to 3.45), comparing people with FGD1 mutations to those without. a) Provide a correct interpretation of this odds ratio b) Provide a plausible value for the risk ratio for Aarskog syndrome, comparing people with FGD1 mutations to those without. Why did you choose this value?
