Annual holiday reminder! It is the totality of our dietary pattern that impacts our health, not what you eat once a year on Thanksgiving :)

Happy Thanksgiving to all🙂

Collider bias occurs when an exposure & outcome share a common effect (the collider). In this case, a distorted association between the exposure & the outcome is produced when we control for the collider.

Confounding occurs when an exposure & an outcome share a common cause.

Failure to control for the confounder makes it appear that there is an assoc btwn the exposure & the outcome, whereas in fact both are caused by the confounder & are not related to each other at all.

To claim that an association represents a causal effect, we need to first rule out 2 possible issues that lead to a non-causal association:

Confounding
Collider bias

Hello #cardiosky #medsky ! Newbie here. Happy to report I am going to make nerd humor my entire Bluesky personality. I am specializing in research and statistics memes. It’s likely that 99% of them will not be funny so feel free to laugh with or at me. Nerd humor is the best humor 🤓😂
