In a case-control study, controls were matched to cases on race and sex. In addition, the researchers collected data on a number of potential confounding variables including age, smoking status, education, and alcohol consumption. Nonetheless, the researchers were unable to study the association of the disease with which of the following factors?
Race and sex
Race, age, sex, smoking status, education, and alcohol consumption
Race, age, and sex
Race, age, smoking status, education, and alcohol consumption
Race, age, sex, education, and alcohol consumption
| A. | Race and sex | |
| B. | Race, age, sex, smoking status, education, and alcohol consumption | |
| C. | Race, age, and sex | |
| D. | Race, age, smoking status, education, and alcohol consumption | |
| E. | Race, age, sex, education, and alcohol consumption |
Solution
THE RESEARCHERS SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ASSOCIATE THE DISEASE WITH OPTION C WHICH INCLUDES RACE AGE AND SEX BECAUSE THE SMOKING AND ALCOHOL CONSUMPTIONS ARE GENERALLY ASSOCIATED WITH WITH DISEASE.
