closeWhen I took a statistics course a chi squared of zero meant no correlation

One of the main issues I have with this study is that 76% of the participants were female. A second is that one third of them were in a lower socio-economic class - which tends to have lower levels of health care available to them. You also did not take into account caloric intake.
The only thing that I agree with from the findings of this study is that more study is needed and that it contraindicates other studies on the subject.

We have listed several aspects in the section regarding limitations of the study. We, therefore, say that more in-depth studies about nutritional habits and their effects on health are needed.
