A sample of 537 men 60 years of age with normal bone density, osteopenia (a low bone density which may lead to osteoporosis), and osteoporosis are randomly selected from hospital records and invited to participate in the study. Each participant's history of fracture (At least once vs. None) in the past 4 years is obtained from their medical records. What statistical test is the MOST appropriate to test whether there is a difference in history of fracture in the past 3 years between 60-year-old men with normal bone density, those with osteopenia, and those with osteoporosis?
Chi-square test of independence
Simple linear regression
Three independent-samples t tests
(One-way) ANOVA
Chi-square goodness-of-fit test
