The Homeostatic Model Assessment (HOMA) Score

SAMPLE DATA 2: Retinoid

Study Title: “EFFECTS OF A FRUIT AND VEGETABLE JUICE CONCENTRATE (FVJC) IN-VIVO ON RETINOL BINDING PROTEIN 4 AND ANTIOXIDANT CAPACITY IN NORMAL AND OVERWEIGHT BOYS –A RANDOMIZED PLACEBO CONTROLLED STUDY”

Design: Experimental (Clinical trial)

Description: These data were generated from a randomized placebo control study with 39 patients. The study is planned to compare the effect of FVJC on Retinol Binding Protein 4. The study measures many other outcomes. We have 5 of them. Each outcome was measured three times: 0 Month (0M), 3 Month (3M) and 6 Month (6M).

The variables in the dataset are:

ID : Subject Identification number
