Adults with epilepsy are recruited into a clinical trial to compare the effect of two classes of anticonvulsant drugs—enzyme-inducing and non-enzyme-inducing— on serum lipids. The outcome of interest is a new diagnosis of hyperlipidemia. Use the output to answer the following questions.

1. What procedure was used to generate the results in SAS?
2. Is there sufficient evidence to suggest that drug class is associated with hyperlipidemia? Justify your response.
3. Are any of the independent variables included in the model categorical? If so which ones? Justify your response.
4. Are age and sex associated with hyperlipidemia? Justify your response.
