This posting focuses on a randomized controlled trial assessing the effectiveness of aerobic training and diet programs as compared to diet only programs on selected coagulation biomarkers and sex hormones among obese postmenopausal women. The findings indicate that balanced diet combined with aerobic exercises were more effective than diet programs only on coagulation factors and fibrinolytic biomarkers. Other studies validate this finding for instance, a study on postmenopausal women found that exercise only programs caused a 2.4 percent reduction in starting weight as compared to 8.5 percent for exercise and dietary combinations (Fred Hutchison Cancer Research Center, 2011). However, as the writer acknowledges in their limitations, the studys focus on aerobic exercises only provides a narrow scope. In their study, Baak et al. (2021) found that studying the effects of exercise training alone was not enough. The study found that different types of physical exercises, such as resistance exercises, aerobic training, and high intensity workouts affect obesity-related biomarkers differently, (Baak et al., 2021). These findings point to a need to further study different forms of exercise to determine their effect on the selected sex hormones and biomarkers for obese postmenopausal Egyptian women.

The...…conventional or alternative treatment) (Kendall, 2003). Perhaps it would be beneficial to also focus on studies that analyze American Indians response to selected obesity-prevention programs. For instance, in one RCT, Rosenstock et al. (2020) assessed the effectiveness of a home visiting intervention focused on educating Native American parents on healthy diets and monitoring childrens diets in reducing the risk of childhood obesity. The study found that the home visiting program significantly reduced childhood obesity among Native American children in the intervention group (Rosenstock et al., 2020). Such insights, in my view, would effectively complement the analyzed study and inform effective obesity-prevention…

Epidemiology Definition and Description of Epidemiology The word epidemiology was derived from the Greek words where "epi" means upon, "demos" means people, and "logos" means study. Epidemiology can be defined in detail as the study of distribution and determinants of health-related states or events in specified populations, and the application of this study to the prevention and control of health problems. (Last, 2001) Here, in the definition the distribution refers to analysis of persons,
The "where" category is at the right corner, and can be delineated as Fulton, Georgia. All three categories interact with each other to offer conclusions for the study. Additional factors such as child abuse and the crime rate can then be examined in terms of these categories. According to Rosenberg & Handler, descriptive epidemiology focuses on the pattern and frequency of health issues for a population group, while analytic epidemiology

Qualitative research, and qualitative understanding, is very useful in translating certain ideas into words that can be more readily understood by the researcher. Quality is understood as a subjective term and by trying to model quality into a form that can be translated mathematically allows this type of data to be manipulated and crafted to fit certain arguments.

Epidemiology Intersecting With and Impacting Nursing Work Although epidemiological research may seem far removed from the work of the clinical nurse, in actuality it has a material impact upon how nurses interact with patients every day. A good example of this is the mounting epidemiological evidence indicating that there is an obesity epidemic in the United States. Without this knowledge, a nurse might be inclined to ignore a patient whose weight
Epidemiology in Public Health Nursing When a disease is described as endemic, it usually refers to the expected or normal prevalence of an infectious agent for a specific group or region (Beaglehole, Bonita, and Kjellstrom, 1993). The cause of malaria, the parasite Plasmodium faciparum, is limited to tropical and subtropical regions of the world, including Central and South America, Central and South East Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa (Hay et al., 2009).
