Abstract or project description

This paper examines how certain indicators can determine one’s susceptibility to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. By looking at age, occupation, physical and biological factors, a relation to how CFS can possibly develop is being found(?). With the confirmation of certain factors, such as heavy workload, adding to one’s everyday fatigue, a closer look can be made into how it can transform into a syndrome that is characterized with severe fatigue and constant, extreme pain. We performed statistical analysis on data from a large survey conducted by the General Social Survey, and newly identified biomarkers that reveal CFS within a patient.
