A case-control study of patients on antihypertensive drugs related an increased risk of myocardial infarction (MI) for patients using calcium channel blockers. In this study, cases were antihypertensive drug patients who had suffered a first fatal or nonfatal MI through 1993, and controls were antihypertensive drug patients, matched by demographic factors, who had suffered a MI. Among the comparisons reported were patients receiving calcium channel (CC) blockers (with and without diuretics) and patients receiving ß-blockers (with and without diuretics). Results of numbers of patient by drug/MI status combination are given in the following table. Antihypertensive OHO: p1p2 vs. Ha: p1 < p2 O HO: p1> p2 vs. Ha: p1=p2 Drug Does it appear that an increased risk of myocardial infarction (MI) is related to using calcium channel (CC) blockers? The case-control nature of this study requires we compare the proportion of CC blocker users among those had MI attack (p1) vs. the proportion of CC blocker users among those had no MI (p2). What is your hypothesis for this test? O HO: p1p2 vs. Ha: p1=p2 CC blocker B-blocker O HO: p1=p2 vs. Ha: p1 > p2 Occurrence of Yes (cases) 80 85 Myocardial Infarction No (controls) 230 395

One study of cell phones and the risk of brain cancer looked at a group of 469 people who have brain cancer. The investigators then asked about the use of cell phones. Result: “Our data suggest that the use of hand- held cellular phones is not associated with risk of brain cancer. B . Based on this study, can you determine that cellular use does not CAUSE brain cancer? Why or why not?

A case−control study was performed among 145 subjects with macular degeneration and 34 controls, all of whom were 70- to 79-year-old women. A genetic risk score was developed to help differentiate the cases from the controls. The risk score was categorized into six groups (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), with 6 being the highest risk and 1 being the lowest risk.The data in Table 10.48 were obtained relating the risk score to case/control status. taBlE 10.48 risk score cases controls 1 3 11 2 7 3 3 6 6 4 10 8 5 11 2 6 108 4 total 145 34 10.139 What test can be performed to study the asso- ciation between case/control status and risk score? Spe- cifically, we are interested in testing whether cases tend to have consistently higher risk scores or consistently lower risk scores than controls.
Passive exposure to environmental tobacco smoke has been associated with growth suppression and an increased frequency of respiratory tract infections in normal children. Is this association more pronounced in children with cystic fibrosis? To answer this question, 43 children (18 girls and 25 boys) attending a 2-week summer camp for cystic fibrosis patients were studied (New England Journal of Medicine, Sept. 20, 1990). Among several variables measured were the child's weight percentile (y) and the number of cigarettes smoked per day in the child's home (x). a. For the 18 girls, the coefficient of correlation between y and x was reported as r = –.50. Interpret - this result. b. Refer to part a. The p-value for testing Ho: p = 0 against H;: p # 0 was reported as p = .03. n Interpret this result. c. For the 25 boys, the coefficient of correlation between y and x was reported asr = -.12.

As men age, their testosterone levels gradually decrease. This may cause a reduction in energy, an increase in fat, and other undesirable changes. Do testosterone supplements reverse some of these effects? A study in the Netherlands assigned 237 men aged 60 to 80 with low or low-normal testosterone levels to either a testosterone supplement or a placebo. Why is it necessary to include a control group in this experiment? Every experiment needs a control group in order to make proper comparisons between treatments. A control group is necessary to balance the effects of other variables among the treatment groups. A control group is necessary so any differences in the effects of the treatments can be distinguished from chance differences between the groups. A control group helps avoid confounding and reduces variability in the response variable. A control group is used to provide a baseline for comparing the effects of other treatments.

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluated the effect of the herbal remedy Echinacea purpurea in treating upper respiratory tract infections in 2- to 11-year olds. Each time a child had an upper respiratory tract infection, treatment with either echinacea or a placebo was given for the duration of the illness. One of the outcomes studied was “severity of symptoms.” A severity scale based on four symptoms was monitored and recorded by the parents of subjects for each instance of upper respiratory infection. The peak severity of symptoms in the 337 cases treated with echinacea had a mean score of 6.0 (standard deviation 2.3). The peak severity of symptoms in the placebo group (np = 370) had a mean score of 6.1 (standard deviation 2.4). Test the mean difference for significance using an independent t-test.

In an observational study it was found that people who had received the flu shot this year had better blood pressure readings, on average, than people who did not. Can it be claimed that the flu shot is the cause of the lower overall blood pressure? Why or why not?
A Canadian study measuring depression level in teens (as reported in the Journal of Adolescence, vol. 25, 2002) randomly sampled 112 male teens and 101 female teens, and scored them on a common depression scale (higher score representing more depression). The researchers suspected that the mean depression score for male teens is higher than for female teens, and wanted to check whether data would support this hypothesis. If μ1 and μ2 represent the mean depression score for male teens and female teens respectively, which of the following is an appropriate pair of hypotheses in this case? Check all that apply.
Female college student participation in athletics has increased dramatically over the past few decades. Sports medicine providers are aware of some unique health concerns of athletic women, including disordered eating. A study compared disordered-eating symptoms and their causes for collegiate female athletes (in lean and non lean sports) and nonathletes. The sample mean of the body dissatisfaction assessment score was 13.4 (s=7.9) for 15 lean sports athletes (those sports that place value on leanness, including distance running, swimming, and gymnastics) and 7.4 (s=5.8) for the 67 non-lean athletes. Assume equal population standard deviations. Find the standard error for comparing the means. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the mean body dissatisfaction for lean sport athletes and non lean sport athletes. Interpret.
