Question 8

Lactose intolerance is a non-infectious disease found in some humans who cannot digest milk. The causes of noninfectious disease are grouped into three categories. An epidemiological study was undertaken to investigate the cause of lactose intolerance. The study found variation in the occurrence of lactose intolerance in human populations from different parts of the world. Some of the data are shown in the table.

Using information from the table, outline how the study could be continued to determine the cause of the disease. (4 marks)
