Question

A random sample of 1141 men and 1212 women aged 25-64 y (response rate 76%) completed a questionnaire and underwent a short examination in a clinic. Intake of beer, wine and spirits during a typical week, frequency of drinking, and a number of other factors were measured by a questionnaire. The present analyses are based on 891 men and 1098 women who were either nondrinkers or 'exclusive' beer drinkers (they did not drink any wine or spirits in a typical week). 500 men are beer drinkers and 325 men from this group have the obesity. 80 non-drinkers men are obese.
Required:

a. What type of study desing?

b. Which parameters can be calculated?

c. Determine it and explain the results.

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) A cross sectional study (b) The parameter can be computed as follows: Non-drinkers who agree exposed to obesity, Drinkers who are exposed or vulnerable to obesity (c) A postie relationship is established from the experiment between drinkers who are exposed to obesity and non drinkers who are exposed to obesity

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The type of design is refereed to as a cross sectional study

(b) Now, because 50 men are beer drinkers out of 891 men.

Hence we can deduce form this that  500/891 gives us 0.56%.

This suggest that 0.56% men are beer drinkers out of which 325 have obesity, lets take for example 235/500 = 0.65% are exposed to obesity in which 80/ (89-500) = 80/491 = 0.16%

The non drinkers are 0.16% and are not exposed to obesity

Thus,

The parameters to be calculated is stated below:

• Non-drinkers who agree exposed to obesity
• Drinkers who are exposed or vulnerable to obesity

(c) The next step is to determine and explain the results.

In this case we can say there is a positive relationship between drinkers and non drinkers, since from the experiment 0.65% are exposed to obesity and 0.16$ non drinkers are exposed to obesity.
