Adjusted Analysis

Adjusted analysis is a statistical method used to account for differences between groups in a study, ensuring a fair comparison. For example, when comparing health outcomes between two groups, factors like age, gender, or lifestyle might influence results. Adjusted analysis uses mathematical techniques to control for these factors, isolating the effect of the main variable being studied. This way, researchers can better determine whether differences are truly due to the variable of interest or influenced by other factors, leading to more accurate and meaningful conclusions.
