Cholesterol level tends to increase by age. By analyzing data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services at National Center for Health Statistics, we explore that the factor of age has significantly affected cholesterol levels in both men and women. We have applied the hypothesis-testing method of ANOVA-Test (i.e. Analysis of Variance) to cholesterol data in men and women across three different age groups : young adults (≤35 years old), middle-aged adults (age from 36 years old to 49 years old), and senior adults (≥50 years old). In the ANOVA-Test method, we calculated group means and group variations, compared between-group variations and within-group variations, and used the statistical F-Distribution Table to figure out the critical F-value with α=0.05 in the right tail to make an accept/reject decision on the null hypothesis. Our research findings show that the age factor has a statistically significant impact on cholesterol levels for both men and women, with middle-aged adults exhibiting the highest levels. The potential reason why the middle age group of men and women has the higher cholesterol level than the other age brackets could be fast-food diet derived from time stress in the fast-line life pace in our ongoing research on correlation between fast-food diet and highRead More
