Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
Around 75 subjects will be recruited as per inclusion and exclusion criteria. Baseline data of clinical and laboratory values shall be assessed and recorded.
Subjects recruited will in two main groups; Control group includes 25 healthy non-smokers volunteers and intervention group consist of two sub-groups. Group A (smokers group) include 25 volunteers and will be given zinc gluconate 50mg once daily for 8 weeks while Group B (non-smokers group) include 25 volunteers and will receive the will be given zinc gluconate 50mg once daily for 8 weeks.
The subjects of each group shall be assessed for final data collection of laboratory and clinical values after 8 weeks of the intervention. Before taking final data, the subjects shall be assessed for adherence of treatment or intervention through self-made medication adherence questionnaire. The subject scoring more than 70% percent adherence shall be considered admissible for the final data acquisition and analysis. The data acquired shall be subjected to statistical testing for possible difference and significant observations.
The data of recruited patients shall be assessed and be presented in frequencies and percentages for the socio-demographic data.
After the data collection of post-intervention, the statistics tools t-test will be used for the assessment of differences in primary and secondary outcomes. For the comparison of lipid profile and uric acid levels in smokers and non-smokers group.
