Insulin Resistance, Depression
This dataset is simulated matching reported summary statistics. Type II diabetes is a medical condition involving insulin resistance. Insulin resistance means that the insulin in a person’s body is less effective at lowering blood sugars than it should be. The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) is a screening test for depression. It involves 20 questions about how a person has felt in the last week, and its scores range from 0 to 60, where higher values indicate more depressive symptoms. A group of researchers wanted to investigate how insulin resistance may relate to depression. The subjects were classified into these three groups by the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test: Normal Glucose Tolerance (NGT) Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT) Type II Diabetes Each subject took the CES-D test, and their scores were recorded.
