a. Dependent Variable: wgt2
One year later the results do not significantly change. Only 4.7% of the variation in weight is explained by HgbA1c. Again, the p-value for the HgbA1c is found to be 0.436; this value is higher than the 5% level of significance leading acceptance of the null hypothesis hence implying that HgbA1c does not significantly predict weight.

a. Dependent Variable: wgtdiff
The p-value for the difference in HgbA1c is 0.083 (a value less than 10% level of significance), hence we can say that difference in HgbA1c significantly predicts difference weight at 10% level of significance.
d. The results obtained showed that HgbA1c does not significantly predict weight. This is true even after one year. However, when we obtain the difference in weight and the difference in HgbA1c for the two periods we saw some improvements. The difference in HgbA1c was able to significantly predict the difference in weight though at 10% level of significance. Further investigation should focus on controlling for time and seeing how the results behave.

We performed an independent t-test was in order to compare the average age for those on antihypertensive (BPMEDS = 1) and those not on antihypertensive (BPMEDS = 0). Results showed that the average age for those on antihypertensive (M = 57.63, SD = 5.99, N = 41) was significantly different with the average age (M = 53.90, SD = 8.07, N = 603), t (642) = -2.900, p < .05, two-tailed. Those on antihypertensive were significantly older than those not on antihypertensive.

We performed an independent t-test was in order to compare the mean systolic BP for those on antihypertensive (BPMEDS = 1) and those not on antihypertensive (BPMEDS = 0). Results showed that the mean systolic BP for those on antihypertensive (M = 171.95, SD = 30.08, N = 41) was significantly different with the mean systolic BP (M = 141.69, SD = 25.34, N = 603), t (642) = -7.305, p < .05, two-tailed. Those on antihypertensive had higher mean systolic BP than those not on antihypertensive.

We performed an independent t-test was in order to compare the mean diastolic BP for those on antihypertensive (BPMEDS = 1) and those not on antihypertensive (BPMEDS = 0). Results showed that the mean diastolic BP for those on antihypertensive (M = 97.39, SD = 14.44, N = 41) was significantly different with the mean diastolic BP (M = 86.27, SD = 13.73, N = 603), t (642) = -5.001, p < .05, two-tailed. Those on antihypertensive had higher mean diastolic BP than those not on antihypertensive.

A paired-samples t-test was conducted to compare initial weight and final weight of individuals after a weight-loss program. There was a significant difference in the initial weight (M = 151.70, SD = 27.43) and final weight (M = 145.10, SD = 24.86) conditions; t(9) = 3.589, p = 0.006. These results suggest that the weight-loss program really does have an effect weight of individuals. Specifically, our results suggest that before the weight-loss program, the individual’s weight more as compared after the weight loss program.

The mean difference is significant at the 0.05 level.
First, we checked for the homogeneity of variances where we observed the variances to be homogenous (p = 0.148). For the ANOVA test, results showed that there is significant difference in the mean age at completion of year 7 for at least one region. Post-hoc test using Bonferroni showed that significance difference exists in the mean age at completion of year 7 for the urban and Sub-Urban regions.
