NAME: Neuropathy.txt YEAR RECEIVED: 2003 SIZE: 66 variables, 11 observations COURTESY OF: Regina Kurian, M.D. Department of Medicine Division of Endocrinology & Metabolism University of Louisville REC'D ANALYSIS: Data Investigation/Mining; Repeated paired t-tests. NOTES: Data are from an exercise intervention in elderly subjects with neuropathy associated with diabetes. Subjects were measured on many characteristics prior to intervention, put on a light exercise regimen, and then measured for same characteristics. Good practice for paired sample testing, taking care of correlated measurements, i.e. waist and hip measurements correlated with waist-to-hip ratio. DATA NOTES: Data are tab delimited. Text data are non-qualified, i.e. are not delimited in any way. VARIABLE TYPE CODE DESCRIPTION Patient Numeric Subject number Pre-systol Numeric Pre-intervetion systolic BP Pre-diastol Numeric Pre-intervetion diastolic BP Post-systol Numeric Post-intervetion systolic BP Post-diastol Numeric Post-intervetion diastolic BP Smoker Yes/No y/n Smoking status. Note that observation 10 has value "chew", indicating subject was smokeless tobacco user. Multiple ways of dealing with this; e.g. call variable "tobacco" and recode as "y" Age Numeric Subject age Sex Dichotomous f/m f = female m = male Yrs w/ DM Numeric Years with diabetes mellitus pre-MNSI Numeric Pre-intervention MNSI score. MNSI score indicates degree of neuropathy post-MNSI Numeric Post-intervention MNSI score pre-NDS Numeric Pre-intervention NDS score. NDS score also indicates degree of neuropathy post-NDS Numeric Post-intervention NDS score Height Numeric Subject height pre-weight Numeric Pre-intervention weight post-weight Numeric Post-intervention weight pre-BMI Numeric Pre-intervention BMI post-BMI Numeric Post-intervention BMI pre-pulse Numeric Pre-intervention sitting pulse post-pulse Numeric Post-intervention sitting pulse pre-resp rt Numeric Pre-intervention respiratoty rate post-resp rt Numeric Post-intervention respiratoty rate pre-waist Numeric Pre-intervention waist size post-waist Numeric Post-intervention waist size pre-hip Numeric Pre-intervention hip size post-hip Numeric Post-intervention hip size pre-WHR Numeric Pre-intervention waist-to-hip ratio post-WHR Numeric Post-intervention waist-to-hip ratio pre-chol Numeric Pre-intervention cholesterol post-chol Numeric Post-intervention cholesterol pre-HDL Numeric Pre-intervention HDL post-HDL Numeric Post-intervention HDL pre-TG Numeric Pre-intervention triglycerides post-TG Numeric Post-intervention triglycerides pre-LDL Numeric Pre-intervention LDL post-LDL Numeric Post-intervention LDL pre-%fat Numeric Pre-intervention body fat percentage post-%fat Numeric Post-intervention body fat percentage prev-VA Numeric Pre-intervention visual analog (VA) scale measurement for pain post-VA Numeric Post-intervention visual analog (VA) scale measurement for pain pre-vib L Numeric Pre-intervention vibration, left arm pre-vib R Numeric Pre-intervention vibration, right arm post-vib L Numeric Post-intervention vibration, left arm post-vib R Numeric Post-intervention vibration, right arm pre-HbA1c Numeric Pre-intervention HbA1c level post-HbA1c Numeric Post-intervention HbA1c level pre-gluc Numeric Pre-intervention glucose level post-gluc Numeric Post-intervention glucose level pre-insulin Numeric Pre-intervention insulin level post-insulin Numeric Post-intervention insulin level calf pre Numeric Pre-intervention max weight capacity - calf lift calf post Numeric Post-intervention max weight capacity - calf lift hamstring pre Numeric Pre-intervention max weight capacity - hamstring lift hamstring post Numeric Post-intervention max weight capacity - hamstring lift chair pre Numeric Pre-intervention max weight capacity - chair raises chair post Numeric Post-intervention max weight capacity - chair raises IL-12 pre Numeric Pre-intervention interleukin 12 level IL-12 post Numeric Post-intervention interleukin 12 level IL-8 pre Numeric Pre-intervention interleukin 8 level IL-8 post Numeric Post-intervention interleukin 8 level IL-10 pre Numeric Pre-intervention interleukin 10 level IL-10 post Numeric Post-intervention interleukin 10 level TNF pre Numeric Pre-intervention interleukin TNF TNF post Numeric Post-intervention interleukin TNF HOMA-PRE Numeric Pre-intervention HOMA - glucose*insulin HOMA POST Numeric Post-intervention HOMA - glucose*insulin
