A group of 250 women over the age of 40 are recruited for a study to determine the effects that calcium has on bone health. Half

of the participants are given a calcium supplement and the other half are given a placebo. If 13 women on calcium develop osteomalacia and 27 women not on the placebo develop osteomalacia, the relative risk for developing osteomalacia for women over 40 on a calcium supplement is 0.48 when compared to those women not taking a calcium supplement. This indicates that taking calcium has no effect on the population of interest's health because the relative risk is less than 1.0.

Answer:

A. True

Explanation:

The result indicates that taking calcium has no effect on the development of osteomalacia in the women. This is because, of the over 120 women placed on the calcium supplements, it happens to be minimal number of people ( less than 20 people) that develop the osteomalacia disease of the bone.

What is Laslow's hierarchy?
dybincka [34]
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is a system that lists the needs felt by every human being, in order of ease of accomplishment. Our basic survival (physiological) needs (food, water, shelter) are on the bottom. Next up is our safety needs (being able to live without fear of danger), followed by love/belonging needs (the need to have people who you support, and whom support you). After that comes esteem needs (the need to be supportive of your own choices). Finally, at the top of the list is the need for self-actualization. This is the need to feel like your life has significant meaning, and that you have done something for the greater good of humanity. This is a rare need to meet.
Hope that helped! =)

Based on the anatomical and physiological differences between an infant and an​ adult, which finding would suggest respiratory d
frosja888 [35]

Answer: Excessive movements of the walls of the  abdomen

Basically babies belly breathe, that is they undergo abdominal pattern of respiration( instead of the abdomino- thoracic pattern in  adult), through their abdomen.

<u>This is because,  their thoracic walls are not fully functional to undergo  the normal adult mechanisms  of breathing</u>.

<u>The ribs are short in length due to incomplete ossification. They curve out wards, at low angle, their sternum, is shaped horizontally.</u>

These features reduce the activities   of the inter coastal muscles and the thoracic cage  in the mechanism of  infants breathing,compare to the long ribs, obliquely shaped rib cage,  with lower  sternum  of  adult which  permit the  abdominal-thoracic  breathing pattern.

Therefore ,when the diaphragm distends during breathing ,its movement pushes the organs of the abdomen down; because infants have rapid respiratory  rates, the distends created  rapid  expansion and contraction of the walls of the abdomen to gain enough abdominal pressure.

This together with the movement of  organs of the abdomen   from  the  pathways of diaphragm  created the  excessive  movements of the abdominal walls. This rapid abdominal wall movements creates discomfort and distress for the infant during this mechanisms.
