A STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF FOUR DIFFERENT MEDICINES ON THE PATIENTS WITH HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE USING ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE (ANOVA)

High blood pressure is a major determinant of risk for Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) and stroke, leading causes of death in anywhere of the world. However, the factors which increase blood pressure levels in human body are not well comprehended, but body fat is expected to be one of the major determinant of blood pressure level. This research carried out in Sharda University, to examine the effect of four different treatments taken by the patients with high blood pressure by using analysis of Variance (ANOVA). By using one way ANOVA in Minitab we have seen that the treatment are not equally effective. However, by using two factor ANOVA without replication in excel, it shows there is no statistically significant difference between effects of the treatments with respect to the patient age. It also affirm our one way ANOVA that there is a statistically significant difference between the treatments as treatment C happens to be less effective than others treatments. And we have seen that with respect to age the treatment are equally effective but regardless of age the treatments are not equally effective. KEYWORDS:
