Chapter 11.3, Problem 28PB
Smelling and mortality A recent study (Pinto et al., Olfactory Dysfunction Predicts 5-Year Mortality in Older Adults. PLoS ONE 9(10):e107541, 2014) mentions that anosmic (those with almost no sense of smell) older adults had more than three times the odds of death over a 5-year span compared to normosmic (those with normal smell) individuals. Does this imply that anosmic older adults were more than three times as likely to the over the next 5 years than normosmic ones? Explain.

Reduced heart rate variability (HRV) is known to be a predictor of mortality after a heart attack. One measure of HRV is the average normal-to-normal beat interval (in milliseconds) for a 24-hr time period. Twenty-two heart attack patients who were dog owners and 80 heart attack patients who did not own a dog participated in a study of the effect of pet ownership on HRV, resulting in the summary statistics shown in the accompanying table.

The paper indicates that the null hypothesis in part (a) was rejected and reported that the P-value was less than 0.05. Carry out a two-sample t test. (Use
? = 0.05.
Use ?1 for heart attack patients who are dog owners and ?2 for heart attack patients who do not own a dog.)
Find the test statistic and P-value. (Use SALT. Round your test statistic to one decimal place and your P-value to three decimal places.)

However, the direct link between rapid changes of hemoglobin and exercise performance is still unknown. A study investigated 18 patients with a blood disorder (beta-thalassemia).

TBI is caused by impacts to the head that might occurduring contact sports, motor vehicle accidents, and similar events. TBI is known to produce cognitive impairments and reductions in brain volume. In a recent, repeated-measures study on TBI, Zagorchev et al.(2016) observed that the size of the amygdala among mild TBI patients was reduced at 12 months after injury, relative to two months after injury. Suppose that a researcher is interested in replicating and extending this observation. She recruits n=8 participants with mild TBI and records the volume of a brain region at 2 months and again and again at 12 months. Her data are listed below a.) Test the hypothesis that volume of the brain region changed between 2 & 12 months. Use α=0.05, two-tailed b.)

- Researchers have noted a decline in cognitive functioning as people age (Bartus, 1990). However, the results from other research suggest that the antioxidants in foods such as blueberries may reduce and even reverse these age-related declines (Joseph et al., 1999). To examine this phenomenon, suppose that a researcher obtains a sample of n = 16 adults who are between the ages of 65 and 75. The researcher uses a standardized test to measure cognitive performance for each individual. The participants then begin a 2-month program in which they receive daily doses of a blueberry supplement. At the end of the 2-month period, the researcher again measures cognitive performance for each participant. The results show an average increase in performance of Mp = 7.4 with SS = 1215. a.

- The article “Factors Associated with Exercise Behavior in People with Parkinson Disease” (T. Ellis, J. Cavanaugh, et al., Physical Therapy, 2011:1838–1848) reported a survey of patients with Parkinson's disease. Of 164 patients who said they exercised regularly, 76 reported falling in the previous six months.

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.
