EPIDEMIOLOGIC STUDY WORKSHEET
In this paper, I will analyze two studies, selected from the abstracts’ paper provided in class, from different perspectives; then, I will answer the Epidemiologic Study Worksheet questions, which are listed below, about the abstracts of the two articles.
1. What did the researchers want the research to determine?
2. What health condition did the researchers study?
3. What factors did the investigators research to ascertain an association with the outcome listed?
4. Whom did the researchers study? How many?
5. What type of epidemiological study design does the study describe? Why?
6. What methods were used to collect the data for the study?

In this article, the researchers wanted the study to determine if entry into the United States Army service during periods of administration of Simian Virus 40-contaminated adenovirus vaccine was associated with an increased risk of cancer. In particular, the researchers studied cases of brain tumors, mesothelioma, and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma; in addition to, colon and lung cancer controls. The scientists investigated the association of administration of adenovirus vaccine to dates of Army records acquired for cancer cases and controls (Rollison et al.,…show more content… Vainionpää, R. Korpelainen, H. K. Väänänen, J. Haapalahti, T. Jämsä, and J. Leppäluoto have written. Their research sought to establish the long-term consequences of high-impact workout on bone turnover and calciotropic hormones. They aimed to study the effect of regular-impact exercise in premenopausal women and the possibility of causing positive osteogenic outcomes in relation to low basal serum parathormone and their effect on bone turnover markers PINP or TRACP5b. To study those effects, the scientist studied an exercise regimen of high-impact exercise administered three times weekly for 12 months, to a group of 120 women aged between 35 and 40 years; with 60 randomly assigned the exercise group and the other 60 as the control group. Using an accelerometer they assessed the daily impact loading. While as, at zero, six, and twelve months’ analysis of bone turnover markers and calciotropic hormones were made (Vainionpää et al.,
