question 50

True/False

"The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which sex, age, height, and weight predict selected physiologic outcomes: namely, forced expiratory volume (FEV) in 1 second, hemoglobin concentration, food intake, serum glucose concentration, total serum cholesterol concentration, and cancer-related weight change (Brown et al., 1997)." In this study, the dependent variable is the physiologic outcomes.
