Cohort

How do the authors use
the method? What do they use it for? What specifically does the method enable them to do? Why did
they choose this method rather than another? What was it about this research agenda/topic that led them to
choose this particular method? Answer a handful of these. They all get at
similar thing. But I want blocks of texts.
The authors use the
cohort method in order to prove. They are able to use it to prove an
association and or causation between the inflammation of the airways and lung
function to the amount of pollution in Mexico City. They chose this method so
that they could directly say that the pollutant particle PM2.5 had a direct
association to the overall lung function and amount of airway inflammation in
the schoolchildren of Mexico City.
4.
What is the conclusion
of the study? And how did the method
enable them to reach that particular conclusion?
The conclusion of this study was
that the children had a very distinct reaction to the particle PM2.5. Both the children
with and without asthma had reactions, and has higher risk of respiratory
infections. Even though both had reactions to PM2.5, the children with asthma
had more, and more severe reactions.
5.
The interesting thing about this article
is that the specific article PM2.5 had a direct effect to the symptoms of
asthma.

They use the review in order to review multiple articles that
are looking at the association between any of the environmental pollutants and
asthma symptoms in children under the age of 9. They chose this method in order
to look at multiple articles, and get a general consensus on the literature on
the topic. They were lead to this method because it is the only way to review
multiple pieces of literature, and they didn’t have the ability/possible desire
to complete their own actual research. Instead they wanted to get the general
consensus on what the conclusions of similar studies are.
4. What is the conclusion of the study? And how did the method enable them to reach
that particular conclusion?
They found that the environmental pollutants induced the
symptoms of asthma. Their method enabled them to find this consensus by looking
at multiple studies on the same general topic.
5. The interesting thing that I found in this
article was that the resounding opinion of the studies was that emissions had a
direct correlation to the symptoms of asthma.

The authors use this method to collect
data on a large population over a section of time, it is also over a longer
period of time than other methods. They chose this method to get a diverse
sample group. It also allows them to look at the effects of traffic emissions on
the lungs, specifically on the occurrence of asthma. This method allows them to
look at a much larger population than say a cohort study, so the conclusion can
be more reliable.
4.
What is the conclusion
of the study? And how did the method
enable them to reach that particular conclusion?
The study concludes that the effects
of traffic pollution probably had an effect on the rise of prevalence of asthma
in the upcoming generation. They were able to get this through looking at a
couple hundred people, and cross referencing the amount of ambient traffic
pollution in their daily lives.
5.
The thing that I found interesting
was that it correlated the traffic emissions directly to the rise in asthma
throughout the new generation of kids.

.The authors use this
method in order to look at a large amount of people over a longer period of
time. It can give them more accurate results, and it gives them results from a
long period of time, unlike some studies which look at short bursts of time.
They chose this method because they are looking for a wide variety of
backgrounds and over a long period of time. They were looking at multiple areas
in India, both have a variety of different emissions, so a large variety of
people would give the best overall results.
4.
What is the conclusion
of the study? And how did the method
enable them to reach that particular conclusion?
They concluded that
both indoor and outdoor air pollution in both metropolitan and non metropolitan
areas has an effect on symptoms of asthma. They got this conclusion from the
wide population that the researchers decided on.
5.
The thing that I found
interesting was that both groups of kids, metropolitan and non metropolitan had
asthmatic issues.

The authors of this
article use this method because the participants already had a study done on
them during the 1970s, so they did this as a follow up to the original study. They
used this follow up to see if the effects seen in the original study stuck
around and were still prevalent. They also used this method to see if the
effects of their childhood exposure have possibly got worse.
4. What is the conclusion of the study? And how did the method enable them to reach
that particular conclusion?
The conclusion of the study is that there was around a 30%
correlation to the prevalence of adult respiratory issues. They were able to
get this by asking the participants their experiences throughout their
adulthood.
