Question

Identify any possible lurking variables!

Answer 1

Bio-availability?
How much water is consumed?

Answer 2

i get what your saying but how is water right?

Answer 3

so water by the means of taking the supplement?
is a lurking varialbe

Answer 4

This calcium was used in a test to see if it would be effective in reducing blood pressure

Answer 5

Too much water can cause evacuation instead of availability. Water loves electrolytes.

Answer 6

ok so my final answer is: A lurking variable is water!
Is this answer well suited enough you think or should i make it more detailed

Answer 7

Maybe "Vector" is a better description -- how administered and under what contributory condition.

Answer 8

hmm idk about vector.. by itself maybe if we talk about water and vetors

Answer 9

Vectors are how things get around.

Answer 10

ok, then how is that repeated to water? maybe its how water travels or the motion of it?

Answer 11

The water may be the source of administration. Without water, the stuff you are studying may not arrive at its target.

Malaria is a good example. If the mosquito didn't bring it to you, you wouldn't get it. The mosquito is the vector.

Answer 12

ok but its people just drinking water to swallow a pill

Answer 13

Maybe. It may be water soluble and you can't use it if it doesn't dissolve. For example, Vitamin E is Fat Soluble. Water won't do it.

Answer 14

ok but they are taking calcium

Answer 15

Exactly. HOW is it made to be bioavailable? How does it bread down? This is important. Frankly, most of your dietary supplements end up in the plumbing - if you know what I mean. If you intend to test a nutrient, you must ENSURE the the nutrient actually is absorbed by the subject,.

Answer 16

so from what im gathering i think that your saying that all of this is possible lurking variables.. or am i not taking the bait for the correct solution
