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

¿Qué características crees que deben tener los métodos anticonceptivos para ser eficaces en el control de la natalidad?
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Los métodos anticonceptivos para ser eficaces en el control de la natalidad deben ser seguros para las personas que los utilizan, es decir, no tener efectos adversos, o al menos, la menor cantidad posible. Ser reversibles, es decir, que no generen infertilidad de por vida. Deben ser además fáciles de usar, cómodos y fáciles de conseguir, esto es, económicos. Además deben ser eficientes en su objetivo de evitar la concepción, que es para lo que fueron creados.

Explanation:

La tasa de eficacia de un método anticonceptivo se mide por la cantidad de embarazos que se producen cada 100. Esta parece ser la característica más importante, y si bien es una de las más importantes, hay que tener en cuenta todos los otros factores mencionados, es decir que la gente pueda acceder a ellos, sean cómodos, seguros y a un precio coherente.
