Q

Which research design a contemporaneous determination of disease status (prevalence) and dietary exposure?

Ecological studies
Cohort
Cross-sectional
Case-control

A

Cross-sectional: Cross-sectional studies or surveys measure both the exposure and outcome in a sample of the population at a point in time

The classic type of cross-sectional study is the survey: A representative group of people – usually a random sample – are interviewed or examined in order to find out their opinions or facts. Because this data is collected only once, cross-sectional studies are relatively quick and inexpensive. They can provide information on things like the prevalence of a particular disease (how common it is). But they can’t tell us anything about the cause of a disease or what the best treatment might be.

Cross-sectional studies can answer questions such as these:

How tall are German men and women at age 20?
How many people have cancer screening?

Q

Which research design looks at contemporaneous (simultaneous) or retrospective examination of any relationship between disease risk and dietary exposure of individuals matched or paired on the basis of common characteristics other than disease status and dietary exposure; but who are otherwise as similar as possible.

Ecological studies
Cohort
Cross-sectional surveys
Case-control

A

Case-Control

Case-control studies compare people who have a certain medical condition with people who do not have the medical condition, but who are otherwise as similar as possible, for example in terms of their sex and age. Then the two groups are interviewed, or their medical files are analyzed, to find anything that might be risk factors for the disease. So case-control studies are generally retrospective.

Case-control studies are one way to gain knowledge about rare diseases. They are also not as expensive or time-consuming as RCTs or cohort studies. But it is often difficult to tell which people are the most similar to each other and should therefore be compared with each other. Because the researchers usually ask about past events, they are dependent on the participants’ memories. But the people they interview might no longer remember whether they were, for instance, exposed to certain risk factors in the past.

Do HPV infections increase the risk of cervical cancer?
