63. Assertion (A) : An excessive intake of vitamin D is harmful.
Reason (R) : Hypervitaminosis D causes hypercalcaemia by increased intestinal absorption and mobilization of calcium from bones.
64. Assertion (A) : Cholera epidemic due to contaminated water does not show immediateend on elimination of contaminated source.
Reason (R) : Transmission is stopped on removal of contaminated water source but cases occur amongst those already in incubation period.
65. Assertion (A) : To interrupt transmission of rubella, priority is given to immunise women of child bearing age than children.
Reason (R) : About 80% of women of child bearing age are susceptible to rubella.
66. Assertion (A) : Evaluation for syphilis is best done by FTA – ABS followed by RPR test.
Reason (R) : FTA – ABS is specific but RPR test is highly sensitive.
67. Assertion (A) : Lead has a high boiling point with emission of fumes and dust.
Reason (R) : Most cases of industrial lead poisoning is due to inhalation of fumes and dusts of lead or its compound.
68. Assertion (A) : Prevention of dengue in susceptible population would be better done if effective vaccine is available.
Reason (R) : Due to transovarian transmission of dengue virus, anti adult measures will not stop transmission.
69. Assertion (A) : All helminths are transmitted by ingestion of vegetables and salads from contaminated soil.
Reason (R) : The areas which lack adequate sanitation, faûces of infected people contaminate the soil.
70. Assertion (A) : Communicable diseases can lead to some of the NCDs.
Reason (R) : Control of communicable diseases will result in control of all NCDs.
71. Assertion (A) : Young infants have more problems in metabolism of cow’s milk than human milk.
Reason (R) : The high caesin content of cow’s whole milk forms a tough curd which is hard to digest.
72. Assertion (A) : If prevalence of goitre is reduced to below 5% in a population, Iodization of salt is still recommended.
Reason (R) : The social impact of Iodine deficiency arises not so much from goitre as from the effect on the central nervous system.
73. Assertion (A) : In India the proportion of Low Birth Weight (LBW) babies is high.
Reason (R) : Prematurity is the man cause of Low Birth Weight babies (LBW) in India.
74. Assertion (A) : There may be low levels of oxygen in Low Birth Weight (LBW) babies.
Reason (R) : High levels of oxygen in the baby leads to retrolental fibroplasia.
75. Assertion (A) : A live attenuated influenza vaccine should not be used in household members of immunosupressed individuals.
Reason (R) : There may be a risk of transmission of live attenuated vaccine virus to immuno compromised individuals.

Question numbers 96 to 100 are based on this paragraph.
An increase in occurrence of brain cancer cases is reported in your area. Twenty five cases have been identified. You want to find if it is related to exposure to mobile phone radiation. For the purpose, a study has to be designed to find the strength of association using limited resources. There is a panic in public and a quick answer is solicited to allay fear and take appropriate public health measures.
96. Most cost effective method to identify cancer cases is :
(1) Population based screening
(2) Voluntary reporting of cases
(3) Screening of family members of known cases
(4) Cancer Registry
97. The most ‘appropriate initial study design’ for finding strength of association in above mentioned scenario is :
(1) Cross sectional study
(2) Case control study
(3) Cohort study
(4) Interventional study
98. The first step out of those mentioned below should be selected for ‘appropriate study design.
(1) Allocation to two arms
(2) Operational definition of case
(3) Defining the universe
(4) Sample size determination
99. What will be calculated to measure strength of association in above mentioned scenario in selected ‘appropriate study design’ ?
(1) Relative risk
(2) Attributable risk
(3) Population attributable risk
(4) Odds Ratio
100. What could be major limitation of ‘appropriate study design’ selected for the purpose ?
(1) Attrition
(2) Resource intensive
(3) Accurate exposure measurement
(4) Inability to study multiple aetiological factors
