yes, because dependent variable is made by independent variable
No. Smoking is an independent variable which has not been shown, conclusively, to affect the timing of menopause onset.
independent variable
If changes in one variable do not affect the outcome of another variable, then the second variable is independent. A variable that is not independent is dependent.
The independent variable: Soil The dependant variable: Potato
The independent variable may - or may not - affect the dependent variable. But the dependent doe not affect the independent.
The type of variable that responds to the dependent variable is called the independent variable.
An independent variable is a variable which, in the context of the experiment or the observations, can affect the dependent variable but is not affected by it. By contrast, the dependent variable is affected by changes in the independent variable. It is quite possible that there is no independent variable, as such, and each variable affects the other.
It can, but need not, affect the outcome of the experiment variable.
The independent variable sometimes changes the dependant variable, because it is dependant on the other variable. Sometimes the independent variable doesn't change the dependant variable, in which case there is no causation between the two variables.
Emphysema is a chronic long-term disease that blocks air way to lungs, meaning it will continue to affect the person by giving them shortness of breath. A treatment to Emphysema is to quit smoking as mentioned above, and then there are medications like Bronchodilators which improve the construction of the airways. So unless they keep smoking, no Emphysema can not worsen and can even be improved.
The general knowledge history about emphysema is doctors guessed that it was connected to smoking. However, after the 1970s, researchers understood that emphysema is caused by any number of lung irritants that affect the lungs, especially the alveoli.
