Question: how many different cases have you worked?

Hi gabby1996,

I’m not sure I exactly understand what you are asking but I assume you mean what number of people I look at in my studies (?) At the moment I am working on a project which uses information from about 55,000 people (pretty big, huh?). These are people who were recruited into a study on the day that they were born – some born in one week in 1946, some born in one week in 1958 and some born in one week in 1970. Those people have been asked all sorts of questions about their lives at various ages and have had medical examinations with the school nurse/doctor and we also have information on things like their exam results too! It is a great source of information!

If I have assumed your question wrong then please ask again – I am happy to answer any science questions you have! 🙂
