Week 2 - Assignment 1: Associate Research Concept and Research Question

Question one

Question stem: How do differences in age group contribute to chronic disease?

Participants

The main participants in this research study are people of different age groups ranging from youths and older adults of both genders who are at high risk of chronic disease victims. Participants to use in this research study will be grouped to help in collecting reliable information for better decision making.

Research context

Statistically, chronic diseases are common among old age people. The high rate of such infections among older adults is due to a low metabolic rate because to reduce physical activities among older adults. As well, chronic disease is also common among young adult who lives poor lifestyle choices like poor diet, overconsumption of alcohol and frequent smoking (Woolf, Aron, National Academies & Institute of Medicine, 2013)

Purpose and impact of the research

The purpose of this research is to study how differences in age group affect the rate of infection of chronic diseases among people living in the United States. In doing so, data will be collected from different age groups ranging from young adults to old adults.

The main impact of this study is to identify the most affected age group with chronic diseases to find possible causes of action that should be then to reduce the chances of infections. For example, a high rate of infection among young people due to the high rate of smoking can be reduced by advising them to stop engaging such activities (Busse & Blümel, 2011).

Aspects of the main focus

The critical element to address in this study is to find possible ways of reducing infection of chronic diseases among the different age groups in the United States. To achieve the goal of the research study, a random sampling method will be done to collect data about how age group differences infection of chronic diseases. In doing so, relevant information will be collected from participants for analysis to answer the research question. Another essential step that should be done in this study is to identify the right participants that will help in collecting relevant information (Busse & Blümel, 2011).

The main research focus

The main focus of this research study is to address or answer the research question. It will pay more attention to how differences in age group contribute to many infections of chronic diseases. Based on past research studies, it evident that differences in age groups affect the risk of being chronic diseases. However, to confirm whether research results that have been discussed by others, it is essential to conduct this to find a possible solution that can help solve the research question (Busse & Blümel, 2011).

Question stem: How does the relationship between ages influence chronic disease affection among different groups of people?

Participants

The key participants in this research study are adults of different age groups of people of 21 years old and above. The sampling process of participants should primarily base on unique observable factors as such risks issues. Participants to be used in this research study will be grouped to help in collecting reliable information for better decision making.

Research context

According to the Center for Diseases Control (CDC), chronic diseases are rampant among old age people than you people in the United States (Adefegha, 2018). A high rate of chronic diseases such as heart and kidney diseases among older adults is because to reduced engaging in physical activities. Besides, Wealth Health Organization revealed that the relationship between ages affects the rate of chronic diseases in the United States (Adefegha, 2018). For example, older adults can get chronic diseases such as heart attacks as a result of how they see their children suffering. Nevertheless, chronic illness is also associated with life poor lifestyle choices like poor diet, overconsumption of alcohol, and frequent smoking among the different age groups.

Purpose and impact of the study

The fundamental goal of this research study is to establish the relationship between ages and infection of chronic diseases among residents of the United States. According to earlier studies, there is a direct relationship between age and the contamination of chronic illness among different groups of people. The effect of this study is that its attempt to establish and identify the link between ages and chronic diseases infection among different ages in the United States (Adefegha, 2018).

Aspect of focus

The central element of focus in this study is to answer the research question. In doing so, the result obtained should be able to confirm whether there is a significant relationship between age and chronic disease infections. The research of this study should ensure that appropriate sampling methods are used to collect data for decision making.

The main research focus

The main focus of this research study is to address or answer the research question. It will pay more attention to how differences in age group contribute to many infections of chronic diseases. According to past studies, there is a significant relationship between age and chronic diseases in the United States (Huong, Ha & Tien, 2017). As such, the research must be able to state the degree of relationship between age and chronic disease infections.
