At the bottom of page 2, the paper states: "Analytic epidemiologic research is needed to test the many hypotheses formulated from these
descriptive data."

Come up with ONE hypothesis that could be tested to explore the conclusions of this research.

You can pose your hypothesis in an IF THEN format if it helps you to make the statement.  Remember that a hypothesis must be both testable (by experiments or observation or both) and falsifiable.

For example : IF people consume 10 oranges a day, THEN they will have adequate vitamin C levels.

Waiting for grade

Hypothesis: "If people consume 10 oranges a day, then they will achieve adequate vitamin C levels."

This hypothesis aims to test whether a significant increase in the consumption of oranges, a rich source of vitamin C, can effectively raise vitamin C levels in individuals. It can be tested by measuring participants' vitamin C levels before and after they begin consuming 10 oranges daily over a specified period. The hypothesis is falsifiable because it can be proven false if no significant changes in vitamin C levels are observed despite the increased intake of oranges.
