Descriptive Statistics

The following graph and table indicate that patients on the Mediterranean diet fared better than the patients on the AHA diet. Twenty one percent off the patients on the AHA diet had some sort of illness compared to only 10% of the patients on the Mediterranean diet. Thus, the chance of remaining healthy was twice as high for a patient on the Mediterranean diet.
