Independent and Dependent Variables



Subject Selection

Select 120 elders from a pool of 220 elders ranging from 50 years of age to 80 years of age. Medical history report of each subject in the pool of 220 to inform researchers of any medical conditions that may potentially harm the subject’s due to the drug research. All participants must inform consent and have a knowledgeable understanding of the experimental design (NOTE: If participants fall under vulnerable population inform consent must be obtained from subjects legally authorized representative). Gender preference of half male and half female subject’s. Subject’s must fall within the average height to weight ratio.


(Discuss considerations of how subjects are to be selected.) The subjects will be selected at random but they will have to pass a blind survey of qualifications.




Sources of Error and Bias

• If the subjects take any other medications such as pain killers, or other daily necessary prescription could possibly skew the test reading. The chemical properties within the mediation could affect inflammation levels.


• Genetics can definitely affect inflammation levels. Everyone is different genetically therefore their response to the doses can be different as well.


(What are some of the potential sources of error or biases that could affect your results and how would you control for them?)
