True or False? Loss-to-follow-up can be a problem in observational studies but not experimental ones.

please explain your answer in a sentence or two. When participants are systematically lost to follow-up in a cohort study, the relative risk can be either underestimated or overestimated. True False

A group of researchers recruited 500 older adults and assessed their levels of physical activity. It was decided that anyone meeting the recommendation for undertaking 30 minutes of moderate physical activity, most days of the week would be classified as "exposed," and anyone reporting less physical activity would be "unexposed." In this study, the researchers found that 10% of all participants who were exposed were misclassified as unexposed and 10% of all unexposed participants were misclassified as exposed. Is this an example of differential misclassification? True or False?
