I) Inductive reasoning is the analysis of specific data collections in relation to a phenomenon to arrive to a more generalized conclusion. ‘Inductive reasoning is reaching to a conclusion by generalizing from examples of the whole category’ (Bengtsson, 2016)

1. ii) Deductive reasoning in contrary to inductive reasoning moves from more generalized principles logically to specific conclusions. Ary et al(2018, p2) describe deductive reasoning as a thinking where one proceeds from general knowledge to a more specific form using logical arguments.

A qualitative research seeks to understand a real life occurrence, tries to find out  the meaning people have attached to factors under study in their life and also emphasizes on the impact of the research on the daily life, Taylor et al (2015,p9-11). In a qualitative research data is collected from large sample size that represents the entire population, analyzed to come up with a logically evaluated conclusion. The article by Choowong, Tillgren and Söderbäck (2017) meets these requirements since it clearly evaluates a real life situation, has a large sample size that well represents the population. Data analysis is also well designed to reach reasonable conclusion.

i)  As one’s bodyweight increases, chances of one developing diabetes also increases.

ii) Is there a distinct relation between C-reactive protein and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes?

i) Access medicine

ii) CRP  and diabetes

i) A systematic review is an evaluation of a phenomenon based on findings by other researchers in various studies in the topic. Systematic review is a secondary evidence since they rely on information available which has been collected and analyzed previously.

ii) Systematic reviews study given phenomena on different dimensions involving a pool of experts. The kind of conclusion derived from the review is therefore inclusive of all the possible factors under study and thus chance of a valid conclusion on the study variable.

ii) According o,  breastfeeding and intelligence quotient of children and adolescents are positively related Horta et al ( 2015, p15). Children who have been breastfed for longer duration show improved performance in intelligent tests. Follow-up also indicated that breastfeeding has a positive influence on schooling and adults’ performance too.
